        e.g. she lives all alone/ all by oneself. 她獨自一個人生活。

[辨析]  lonely與 alone:

lonely只能作形容詞，不可作副詞。它既可作表語，也可作定語。作表語時，alone指沒有別的人，意為“獨自，單獨”；lonely指一種心理狀態，意為“寂寞，孤獨”。指因缺少朋友、同情、友誼所產生的一種悲傷和憂郁的感情。

e.g. he doesn’t feel lonely when he is alone. 即使他獨自一人時也不感到寂寞。

另外，alone用作副詞，譯為“獨自”，“單獨”

e.g. she dared not go home alone. 她不敢獨自回家。

      識記有關alone的詞組:

  leave/let sb/sth alone   “聽其自然，不予干涉”

let alone  “ 且不論,至于…更不必說”

e.g.he can’t find money for necessities, let alone such luxuries as wine and tobacco.

               他連生活必需品都無錢購買,更不必說煙、酒等奢侈品了。
