"lately" in Chinese (Traditional)

• 最近
• 近來

Definition

用來談論最近一段時間，尤其是現在之前的幾天或幾週。它通常指這段時間裡反覆發生或持續發生的事情。

Usage Notes (Chinese (Traditional))

常與現在完成式連用，如 'I've been busy lately.'。它更適合表示最近持續發生或反覆發生的情況，不太常用於單一且已結束的事件；那種情況下，'recently' 往往更合適。它也常用於疑問句和否定句，如 'Have you seen her lately?'。

Examples

I have been very tired lately.

我**最近**一直很累。

Have you talked to Anna lately?

你**最近**和安娜聊過嗎？

It has been raining a lot lately.

**最近**雨下得很多。

I've been sleeping badly lately, so I'm trying to cut down on coffee.

她**最近**話很少——希望一切都好。
