1. Patiently:典型的副词,意思是“耐心地”。比如:
He was angry, but he listened to be patiently.
他生气了,但还是耐心地听我说。
2. 去掉词尾的副词标志ly,就成为了形容词,表示“有耐心的;能忍耐的”。比如:
I think I am quite a patient person.
我认为我是一个相当有耐心的人。
3.Patient还可以作为名词,表示“病人”。比如:
The patient is much better today.
病人今天好多了。
歌词:So many days you passed me by, See the tears standing in my eyes.
你从我面前经过这麽多天了,看见我眼里的泪水。
从这句歌词我们可以体会到歌曲故事的主人公为了等信而焦急、盼望、担忧的心情。
1. Pass by:经过,路过。经过一个地方想起有朋友刚好在附近,那当你探望他时可以:

I happened to pass by,so I dropped in.

He happened to pass by there at that time.

2. Pass by除了表示具体经过一个地方,还可以指错过了某些东西,对某些东西不予理睬,比如机会等。来听例句:
You should never let an opportunity pass by.

对这句话你不能置之不理。You cannot pass by the remark in silence.

快给我一封信,越快越好。

The sooner, the better. 越快越好。
