Harris:What time do you get up on a typical day ? How does it go from then on ?

Peter:Well, let me see now. Most days in the year I wake at 7:30,...

在这里,now是个连接性状语 = Wellnow, let me see.

当now用作连接性状语坐落于句首时,在口语中其后要有停顿,也是调核所在(即now要重读)。

假如now在句首,而调核不落在now上面(即now不重读),便是普通的时间状语。

请教专家老师:当now用作连接性状语时,的意思是呢?查了不少词典,都没。

Well, let me see now.   ≠  Well now, let me see.

你觉得相等吗?
