Then at the End of a Phrase
置于短语后
One of the most common ways you’re going to hear the word then is at the end of a phrase. And we use this to show that, that is our final decision or that you have just recently made your decision about something.
For example, if you and a friend were going to go and have lunch and you’re trying to figure out a cool place to go and your friend says, “Hey, there’s an awesome pizza restaurant down the street and it’s really cheap,” you might say, “Wow, let’s go there then, let’s go there then.”
That just means that you definitely want to go there it sounds good and you made your decision.Alternatively, maybe another friend of yours could say in that same situation, “oh but last time I saw a big cockroach there,” and then you might say, “oh I don’t want to go there then, I don’t want to go there then.” I hate cockroaches.
Another way we can use then is to substitute a time or sometimes even a phase in your life. For example, if I was going to invite you to a party this Saturday and the party is going to start at 8.30 pm, I can say I’ll see you then, see you then.
So then in that case is just saying 8.30 at the party, I’ll see you then. So instead of repeating the time and the place I can just say then, hey I’ll see you then.
An expression we use in the past is back then, and this is always a phase in your life that was in the past. if I was talking about when I used to study at school and I wanted to say that I was different I could say I was much skinnier back then, back then.
So back then is that period in my life when I used to study at school. I was much smaller back then.
因此,那时是指代我生命中的一个时期,我曾在学校学习。那时我瘦多了。
Now and Then
有时
And another popular phrase using time or related to time in some way is, now and then. Now and then just means sometimes, occasionally, I love to eat ice-cream now and then. So it’s not all the time sometimes.
另一个非常流行的词组经常使用或某方向上同时间有关联的是:有时。Now and then的意思是有时,时不时,偶尔。我喜欢偶尔吃冰淇淋。因此并不总是而是有时。
Then to Show a Sequence of Actions
展示一系列的动作
And lastly, we use then during speech to show the continuity of what you’re saying, it puts what you’re saying into a sequence. For example, I could say today I woke up at 7 o’clock then I made some coffee then I went for a run then I brushed my teeth, then, then then, then. It just shows a sequence of what you’re saying.
