1、含义不同
somewhat是颇为、尚可的意思。即到达一定程度,但程度又没有特别深。
He
faced
the
press,
initially,
in
a somewhat subdued
mood.
他最初面对媒体时情绪有点忧郁。
somehow有两个意思,一个是以某种方式,还有一个是不知怎么地。
例句:Somehow Karin
managed
to
cope
with
the
demands
of
her
career.
卡琳设法达到了其职业的要求。
2、用法不同
somewhat译为“有点儿”为一般副词,常修饰形容词或副词,并置于被修饰词之前。
例句:Rules
governing
student
conduct
relaxed somewhat in
recent
years.
近年来约束学生行为的规定有所放宽。
somehow译为“不知怎的”时,作独立副词,置于句首修饰全句;译为“设法”时,修饰一般动词置于句尾。
例句:Somehow he
tells
these
stories
without
a
note
of
horror.
不知为什么他讲这些故事时一点都不害怕。
扩展资料
和somewhat、somehow一样表达转折的副词:anyhow
译为“况且,而且”时,常置于句尾;译为“不管如何”时,置于句首修饰整个主句,且用逗号隔开。
例句:
1、"Anyhow,"
she
added
briskly,
"it's
none
of
my
business."
“不管怎样”,她轻松地补充说,“这不关我的事。”
2、Mother
certainly
won't
let
him
stay
with
her
and anyhow he
wouldn't.
母亲当然不会让他和她住在一起,再说他也不愿意。
3、Where
the
hell
was
Bud, anyhow?
巴德到底在哪儿?
不一样。
理由:
somehow [adv.] 不知怎么地,莫名其妙地; 以某处方式
一般用在句末
Many people said that they had a feeling somehow that Beijing would win the Olympic bid this time.许多人说他们不知怎地 就感到北京这次申奥会获胜
somewhat [adv.] 稍微,有点
这是个程度副词,一般谓语被修饰词前边,类似于a little.
Sorry,I am afraid we have arrived somewhat late.;抱 歉,恐怕我们稍迟到了 一会儿
