In this episode, I am going to teach you a very useful construction. The construction I'm thinking of is the "as soon as" construction. As soon as. That's a-s, s-o-o-n, a-s. As soon as.
在本集中，我将教你一个非常有用的结构。“as soon as”。
What does "as soon as" mean, and how do we use it? "As soon as" means "immediately after" or "immediately after something else happens." "Right after something else happens."
“as soon as”是什么意思，我们如何使用它？“As soon as”的意思是“紧接着”或“其他事情发生后立即”。
Let me give you an example of a sentence that uses this "as soon as" construction, and I think you will understand what I'm talking about.
让我给你举个例子，这样我想你会明白我在说什么。
"As soon as he comes home from work, he makes dinner." As soon as he comes home from work, he makes dinner. This means immediately after he comes home from work, he makes dinner.
“As soon as he comes home from work, he makes dinner.”这意味着他下班回家后立即做晚饭。
Or right after he comes home from work, he makes dinner. "As soon as" means "immediately after." So immediately after he comes home from work, he makes dinner.
“As soon as”的意思是“紧接着”。所以他下班回家后立即做晚饭。
It is a way of connecting these two actions. In this case, coming home from work and making dinner. And this construction tells us that one action happens immediately after another action.
这是一种连接这两个动作的方式。例句中是下班回家和做晚饭。这种结构告诉我们一个动作紧接着另一个动作发生。
Here is another example that shows how we use this "as soon as" construction: I might send a text to my friend that says, "As soon as you read this, text me back."
下面是另一个例子，展示了如何使用“as soon as”结构：我可能会给我的朋友发一条短信，上面写着“As soon as you read this, text me back.”
As soon as you read this, text me back. In other words, "I want you to text me back immediately after you get my message." I want you to text me immediately after you get this message.
换句话说，“我希望你在收到我的信息后立即给我回短信。”
This construction is a very common and useful construction, and it is another part of English that you should know.
这种结构是一种非常常见且有用的结构，也是你应该知道的另一部分英语。
