in the present 和 at present 辨析

Answer D is definitely the right answer. A is nearly correct too, but since we're talking in the present, D is the best choice.

句中in the present是当前，现在的意思，有这种用法吗？词典上只有at present词组，我从没见过in the present.

请分析一下二者使用上有何区别？谢谢！

这两个词组都有，意思基本相同。但是，in the present 远不如 at present 常用。

我看见曹老师指出，the present 是形容词名词化。其实，present 本身也是形容词，也是名词。如果之前有了介词或冠词，自然就是名词了。一个单词的多词性是英语的基本特征。以下 present 都是名词。

N-SING 现在；目前；现状

The present is the period of time that we are in now and the things that are happening now.

...his struggle to reconcile the past with the present.

他为协调过去和现在所付出的努力。

...continuing right up to the present...

一直持续到现在

My last advice: Live, think and act in the present!

我的最后一条建议是：生活在当下，思考在当下，行动在当下。

At present children under 14 are not permitted in bars.

目前，14岁以下儿童不允许进酒吧。

关于 present 的词性和词义，我用一句话概括之：

At present, the present president present at the meeting has presented us with presents.

目前，出席会议的现任主席给我们赠送了礼物。

the present是形容词名词化，意为现在。in the present=now.

at present为习语，其中present为形容词作介词宾语。意为，当前、目前。
