【十分钟学英语】How often? 关于频率的日常对话
我们常常会需要描述做某个事情的频率，是经常做，还是不常做，还是很少做？
先来学习几个对话：
A: How often do you call your parents?
B: I usually call them on Sunday evenings.
A: Do they ever call you?
B: Never. I always call them.
A：你经常给你父母打电话吗？
B：我通常星期天晚上给他们打电话。
A：他们给你打电话吗？
B：从来不打。总是我打电话给他们。
A: How often do you see your grandparents?
B: Not very often. They live far away.
A: Do you and your family go to visit them?
B: Sometimes, but we usually talk to them on the telephone.
A: Do they ever visit you?
B: They rarely visit us. We usually visit them.
A：你多久见一次你的祖父母啊？
B：不经常见。他们住得很远。
A：你跟你的家人去看他们吗？
B：有时候，不过我们通常打电话聊天。
A：他们来看过你们吗？
B：他们很少来看我们，通常是我们去看他们。
A: Do you and your girlfriend see each other often?
B: No really. We always go out on Saturday nights, but we rarely see each other the rest of the week.
A: Why?
B: She usually goes to gym after work, and I’m always at football practice. We never see each other on weekday evenings because we both work.
A：你和你女朋友经常见面吗？
B：不常见。我们总是周六晚上出去，但一周其他时间很少见彼此。
A：为什么呢？
B：她通常下班后要去健身房，而我总是要练足球。工作日的晚上我们从来不见面，因为我们俩都要工作。
以上三段对话很好地诠释了不同的频率的表达：
always 总是
usually 常常
often 经常
not very often 不常
sometimes 有时候
rarely 很少
never 从不；永不
