howlong和howsoon的用法和区别

how long意为多久、多长时间,主要是对一段时间进行提问。how soon意为还要多久,是对从某个基本时间到将来某动作结束或某动作发生这段时间提问,常用在一般将来时态的句子中。两者的区别是表达方式、侧重点的不同。

例句How long have you been employed at this job? 你受雇做这个工作有多久了?How long have you lived around here? 你住在这一带有多长时间了?Can you tell me how soon you can be ready?你能告诉我你多久能准备好吗?How soon people forget that when we needed America during the War they turned up. 人们这么快就忘记了当我们在战争期间需要美国的帮助时,他们很快就出现了。
