二、词义辨析：


immediately,instantly,presently,directly,shortly,soon,at once,right away

这些副词或副词词组均有“立刻，马上”之意。 immediately指做完一件事后，立即就做另一件事，中间一般没有明显的时间间隔。 instantly指恰恰就在此刻，一秒钟也没耽误。 presently指不久、即将。 directly和immediately同义，指毫无迟疑。 shortly和soon同义，指动作发生或完成的速度之快。 soon常用词，指行动快，完成速度快。 at once口语中常用，语气强烈，指时间紧迫，一刻也不能耽误。 right away主要用于美国英语，语气稍弱于at once，强调动作迅速。
