the first time 是引导状语从句的连接词
the first time 首次;第一次。常引导时间状语从句,其重点不是讲第一次做什么,而是说明另一动作或情况;也可以作表语,强调到说话为止某一情况或动作的次数。这个词组在句中可以起到连接词的作用.例如:
2)I knew we would be good friends the first time I met her.
第一次见到她,我就知道我们会成为好朋友。
3)This is the first time I have been to the Great Wall.
这是我第一次去长城。
此外,在考核the first time时,还要经常考核它的另外的句式结构:
It is the first time +从句(从句中通常使用现在完成时态)
It was the first time +从句(从句中通常使用过去完成时态)
It is the first time he has been in China.
It was the first time he had been in China.
这两个句中的the first time 一般被看成先行词,后面是一个省略了that的定语从句
The first time I went to England, I was impressed by its beauty. =When I went to England for the first time,. I was impressed by its beauty.
at the first time 和for the first time 都是介词短语,作句子的时间状语的
for the first time 首次;第一次。表示有生以来或一段时间内第一次做某事,在句中一般单独作状语。例如:
1)The two girl students talked for the first time at the beginning of the term.
at the first time介词短语,是“在第一次”,第一时间,也就是...一开始就... 仅仅是指出时间顺序,一般情况下已有多件同类型的事件发生过,而此处仅仅表明指的是第一次发生的时候,并没有那么强调“独一无二”。
He won the match at the first time.
他在第一次比赛中就获胜了。
We should inform the insurance agent at the first time.
我们应在第一时间通知保险公司代理。
