at first,读音是英[æt fə:st];美[æt fɚst]
at first 的意思是“起初”“开始”,它主要用于强调前后对照,暗示接下去的动作与前面的动作不同甚至相反,因此常有 but,afterwards,soon,at last 等相呼应。如:
At first I didn’t want togo,but I soon changed my mind。
我开始不想去,但我很快就改变了主意。
有时at first并非固定搭配(first后还修饰有其他词语)。如:
She was so nice a girl that he fell in love withher at first sight.
她是这样好的一个姑娘,使他一见钟情。
