汉字
用法
- 今后 (jīnhòu) means 'from now on, henceforth,' referring to the future starting from the present moment, typically placed at the start of a clause: 今后我会更努力 (jīnhòu wǒ huì gèng nǔlì) - from now on I'll work harder.
- It's more formal/written than the everyday 以后 (yǐhòu), which can also mean 'from now on' but is used far more casually in speech.
- Common in promises, resolutions, plans, and official statements about future policy or behavior change.
例句
- 我对自己发誓今后不会再那么做。 Wǒ duì zìjǐ fāshì jīnhòu búhuì zài nàme zuò.I promised myself that I would never do that again.
