用练马绳训练马的各种步态( longe的过去式和过去分词 );渴望(long的过去式和过去分词);
1.这两者都用作表示时间的状语,用于疑问句中可互换。例如:
Have you been here long〔a long〕 time?你在这里呆了很久了吗?
2.a long time可用于肯定句中;而long只在受另一副词如too, enough, ago修饰时才用于肯定句。例如:
She waited there for a long time.她在那里等了很长时间。
You've been sleeping too long〔long enough 〕.你睡得太久了。
3.在否定结构中,两者所表达的意思有别。试比较:
Tom didn't work for long.
汤姆干活没干多久。
(刚工作不久)
Tom didn't work for a long time.
汤姆好长时间没工作了。
(离上次工作已很长时间了)
这两个短语的区别是:how soon的意思是“多久”,当我们就陈述句中的“过多少时间(就能…)”这一部分提问时,只能用how soon不能用how long; how long的意思是“多长”,当我们就陈述的“一段时间的长短”提问时,要用how long,不能用how soon。试比较:
“How soon will he be here?”“In two hours.” “再过多久他就在这里了?”“两个小时。” “How long will he be here?”“For two hours.” “他要在这里呆多长时间?”“两个小时。”

It will not be long before I finish the work.
