Re: [文法] by that time/ at that time

[pkuguy (janice)]

by the time指"到...的時候" 亦即 "快接近...的時候"

以下皆舉自海詞在線的例句：

He was quite puffed by the time he reached the top.
他登上頂端時氣喘得很厲害。

By the time the ambulance had arrived, a crowd of onlookers had gathered.
救護車趕到時，圍觀的人已經很多了。


at that time是指過去的時間，也就是「在那個時候」可視作then的近義詞。

例：

They had much silverware at that time.
那時他們擁有很多銀器。



※ 引述《appletv (onionlover)》之銘言：
: 請問by that time 和 at that time 有何不同??
: 在國中文法書看到
: He was playing the piano at that time.
: he had arrived at the station by that time.
: 應該要如何解釋呢??
