recently在句中的位置

老师答疑

童老师：

▲recently 位于句末：
She put on weight recently. 她最近体重增加了。
There has been a drop in crime recently. 近来犯罪率有所降低。
I got a letter from her quite recently. 我就在最近还收到她的一封来信。
▲recently 位于句中（动词之前）
My pop recently retired from work. 我爸最近退休了。
He has recently been promoted. 他最近升职了。
I’ve only recently started learning French. 我只是最近才开始学法语的。
The club has recently appointed a caretaker manager. 俱乐部最近任命了一名临时代理经理。
▲recently 位于句首（尤其是为了引起兴趣或为了形成对比）
Recently I saw her very little. 最近我很少见到她。
Recently John has been doing his work quite regularly. 近来约翰工作一直很有规律。
Recently, he has been working on his master’s degree at the university. 最近，他在大学攻读硕士学位。
▲用于as recently as：
As recently as six months ago her name was almost unknown in Britain. 就在6个月前，她的名字在英国还几乎是无人知晓的。

春老师：

since / until / till 后接 recently, 作宾语。如：
Until recently they were living in York. 他们不久以前还住在约克。
其他用法比较普遍了，可放句末，也可放在句首用逗号隔开，或是放在实意动词前面或 be 动词后面，不影响句子结构，只看你要强调什么。又如：
Have you used it recently？你最近用过它吗？
