Question

I thought her nice and honest _________ I met her.

I thought her nice and honest _________ I met her.

A.first time B.for the first time

C.the first time D.by the first time

答案是C，求详解，为什么ABD不对

Answer 1

the first time 第一次，是名词，在句子中只能做名词的成分。
at the first time 是介词短语，是“在第一次”
for the first time 也是第一次，是个副词短语，在句子中做状语。

例子：
I felt nervous the first time I gave a speech to many students.
我第一次给学生做演讲时感到很紧张。
He won the match at the first time.
他在第一次比赛中就获胜了。
I felt repentance and sorrow for the first time .
我第一次感到后悔，感到难过。
the first time
第一次 相当于连词,
The very first time you said my name当你第一次叫我名字的时候

for the first time
首次；第一次
副词,做时间状语.

For the first time, we find portraits that really look like us.
有史以来第一次，肖像画看起来真的就像你我一样鲜活。
World trade may well shrink this year for the first time since 1982.
世界年贸易量也许本年度就要经历1982年来的首次下降。

by the first time 严格来说不存在.

是by +the first time.

Because love isn't finish by the first time you see the one.
因为爱情不是第一眼就能完成的

Answer 2

the first time/the moment引导时间状语从句，ABD不能带从句
