Question

I haven’t seen her for 35 years or so, but I recognized her a_

A. the moment I saw her B. for the moment I saw her
C. at the moment I saw her D. the moment when I saw her
为什么选a不选d呢

Answer 1

the moment意为“一……就”，相当于as soon as。你也可以理解成 the moment 相当于when ，while ，表示主句和从句的动作是同时进行的。
类似用法的连词还有：the minute／instant；instantly／immediately／directly等。
所以这道选择题选 A
例：
I started the very moment I got your letter. 我一接到你的信就动身了。
I’ll tell him the minute he comes. 他一来我就告诉你。
He stood up the instant I called his name. 我一叫他的名字，他就站了起来。
The moment I saw the dog, it appealed to me. 我一看到这只狗就被它迷住了。
