at all用法

看到这里的at all 用法,你是不是有些疑问?at all不是用于疑问句或否定句中吗?怎么这里也可以用at all呢?而在陈用仪老先生所编的《英语常用词疑难用法》一书中正好提到了这个用法,现将主要部分摘录如下,供大家参考。

在一般词典的解释是at all加强否定或疑问或准否定的语气,这个意义比较容易掌握。例如:They don't like him at all. 他们一点也不喜欢他。/ Do you know him at all?你到底认不认识他?

if从句也有怀疑不定的意义,所以里面的at all可以加重“即使”、“万一”的不肯定语气。【例如】They'll come late, if they come at all. 他们就是来也会来晚的。/ Seldom if at all. 即使有也很罕见。/ If you do it at all, do it well. 不做则已,一做就好好做。
