Meanwhile ,還有幾個意思。首先,它指的是某件事與另一件事同時發生,或兩者之間的某種間隔或等待期。例如,當一個人在某事發生時花時間做某事時就是這種情況。 meanwhile也可以用於on the other hand ,即指代對比的事實。換句話說,當同時發生不同的事情時,可以使用“ meanwhile ”,並強調兩個對象之間的對比。示例: They were driving home from their trip ; meanwhile, I was home baking a cake. (當他們從旅途中開車回家時,我正在家裡烤蛋糕。) => 同時發生兩種不同的情況 示例: Ryan said he's going to get a job. Meanwhile, he hasn't applied to any places. (Ryan 說他會找到工作,儘管他沒有申請任何地方。) => 強調兩種截然不同的情況 示例: Meanwhile, I'll give you homework to practice with before your exam. = While you wait, I'll give you homework to practice with before your exam. (在你等的時候,我會給你作業準備考試。)=> 指等待某事的時期
