  • 释义
  • 开端;先兆;原始思想;初期;

  • 词义辨析
  • at the beginning, from the beginning, in the beginning
  • 这组短语都有“开始”的意思。它们的区别是:
    1.at the beginning是“起初…”,后来可能有变化; from the beginning是“从一开头便…”,并不是“后来才…”。例如:
    I opposed the plan at the beginning.我起初反对这个计划(也许后来不反对了)。
    I opposed the plan from the beginning.我一开始就反对这个计划(并不是后来才反对的)。
    2.at the beginning和in the beginning没有太大的区别, in the beginning现在用得较少。但说“世界之初”时必须用in; 而在begin at the beginning这一短语里的at不可以改为in。例如:
    She disliked the new house at〔in〕 the beginning.她起初不喜欢这栋新房子。
    They begin at the beginning.他们从头开始。
    In the beginning there was no air.世界之初没有空气。
