——it is +時(shí)間 + since (before, when)…
請注意以下三個(gè)句式的區(qū)別和意思上的差異（其中的 is 根據(jù)情況可以有其他時(shí)態(tài)形式）：
It is + 時(shí)間段 + since… 的意思是“自從……以來有一段時(shí)間了”。
It is + 時(shí)間點(diǎn) + when… 的意思是“當(dāng)……的時(shí)候時(shí)間是……”。
It is + 時(shí)間段 + before… 的意思是“在……之前有一段時(shí)間”。
請看以下用例：
It’s ten years since they got married. 他們結(jié)婚到現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)十年了。
It was past one o’clock when he came in. 他回來時(shí)已經(jīng)一點(diǎn)多了。
It won’t be long before they understand each other. 過不了多久他們就會(huì)互相了解的。
有時(shí)翻譯可以比較靈活：
It’s a long time since I met you last. 好久不見了。(直譯：自上次見到你以來有很長一段時(shí)間了。)
It’s about three years since I last played basketball. 我差不多有三年沒有打籃球了。(直譯：自從我上次打籃球以來已差不多有三年了。)
