　　lately與recently用法辨析

　　1. 按傳統語法：lately 通常用于否定句或疑問句，recently 通常用于肯定句。但在現代英語中 recently 也經常用于否定句或疑問句，而 lately 也經常用于肯定句(尤其是在美國英語中以及與 only, much, a lot 等連用時)。

　　2. 從使用的時態來看：兩者都經常與完成時態連用，也可與一般過去時連用(但此時用 recently 比用 lately 更經常)。如：

　　He’s only lately [recently] begun working here. 他只是近來才開始在這里工作。

　　I haven’t been sleeping well recently [lately]. 我最近一直未睡好。

　　His visits used to be rare, but lately [recently] he has been here quite a lot. 他過去很少來(拜訪)，但現在卻來得很經常。

　　I have seen a lot of her lately [recently]. 我最近經常見到她。

　　Did she have a party recently? 她最近舉辦過聚會嗎?

　　注：兩者通常都不用于將來。如：

　　最近我們要去巴黎。

　　誤：We will go to Paris lately [recently].

　　正：We will go to Paris soon.

　　另外，lately 有時還可與一般現在時連用，指現在的習慣(但是recently 一般不這樣用)。如：

　　He doesn’t like watching TV lately. 他近來不喜歡看電視。
