3 sometime, sometimes, some time的区别

Maybe we can go together sometime.

本句出自2021年新高考英语全国卷I(全国乙卷)的听力录音原文。

请老师分析一下 sometime, sometimes, some time的区别。


全段对话:

W: Are you a football fan, Gomez?

M: Yes, I go to the stadium whenever there’s a good game. And if I can’t get a ticket, I watched the game on TV. That way they are less exciting, though.

W: Is the ticket expensive?

M: It depends. It usually costs about twenty to fifty dollars. Last time I paid twenty-five.

W: That’s not very expensive. Maybe we can go together sometime.

M: Great. It’ll be more fun to watch the game with a friend.

▲sometime用作副词时,意思是某个时候或时刻,可用于过去或将来,即既可过去某个时候或时刻,也可指将来某个时候或时刻。如:

We should get together sometime. 我们应该找个日子聚一下。

A burglar broke in sometime during the night. 窃贼在夜间某个时刻入室行窃。

另外,sometime 还可用作形容词,表示以前的”“ 曾经的”“有时的”“偶尔的。如:

Sir Richard Marsh, the sometime chairman of British Rail 理查德·马什爵士,英国铁路公司前董事长

Grimm, a sometime delivery driver, lives with his elderly mother. 格里姆,有时送送货的一名司机,和他年迈的母亲住在一起。

▲sometimes只用作副词,意思是有时,应该是大家比较熟悉的用法。如:

Sometimes I go by car. 有时我坐车去。

He sometimes writes to me. 他偶尔给我写封信。

I like to be on my own sometimes. 有时候我喜欢一个人待着。

▲some time:它通常是一个名词词组,意思是一些时间,也就是一段时间的意思,你可以联想 some money, some space, some advice, some information 等,它们属同类用法,只不过它长得与 sometime, sometimes 有点像,就容易弄混了。例句如:

I haven’t seen him for some time. 我有一段时间没见他了。

Andy and Tom talked for some time. 安迪和汤姆谈了好些时候。

We've been waiting here for some time already. 我们已经在这儿等了些时候了。

特别提醒值得注意的是,在英国英语中, sometime 用作副词时也可以写作some time。也就是说,在英国英语中,some time 也可用作副词,表示某个时候或时刻,此时可与 sometime替换。参见:
