我不明白for some time now的句子结构。和for a while一样吗?

For some time now是谚语,表示for a long time或for a while 。在谈论已经发生了一段时间的情况时使用此表达式,但是您不知道现在到底有多长时间。例子: I have been living in this house for some time now, so I am ready to move. (我已经在这所房子里住了一段时间,现在可以搬家了。)例子: My sister has been with her boyfriend for some time now, so I think they should get married. (我的弟弟已经和男友约会了一段时间,我认为他应该结婚。)
