actuallymissedallofthem.cometorealize開(kāi)始意識(shí)cometo此處意為“（事情）逐漸……；終于……”，表示達(dá)到某種狀態(tài)，常與know,understand,realize,be,love,like等靜態(tài)動(dòng)詞連用，強(qiáng)調(diào)漸變過(guò)程。actually

adv.真實(shí)地，事實(shí)上。

3.Eversincethen,shehasbeenafanofAmericancountrymusic.自從那時(shí)起，她就成了一個(gè)美國(guó)鄉(xiāng)村音樂(lè)迷。eversince意為“自從”，后接表示過(guò)去的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)，常與現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)連用。I’venevergotanyletterfromhimeversincethen.自那以后，我一直未收到他的信。
