78 lately
adv недавно, последнее время Русскому недавно соответствуют в английском языке наречия lately, recently и newly. Lately обозначает событие, которое началось незадолго до момента речи и обычно продолжается до этого момента или включает этот момент. Значение lately синонимично сочетаниям for/in the last/past few weeks (months, days):A lot has happened in the last few weeks/lately — Многое произошло за последние несколько недель.
Have you done any painting lately? — Вы что-нибудь написали в последнее время?
I don't know what has come over her lately — she is so gloomy — Не знаю, что с ней последнее время происходит — так она мрачна.
I have been trying to get in touch with you lately (for the past few days) — Последнее время я пытаюсь с вами связаться.
Lately, как правило, стоит после смыслового глагола или в конце предложения:I haven't seen him lately.
Recently может стоять в начале предложения или в середине предложения перед основным глаголом:I've recently reread the book.
Recently a performance of this drama was renewed.
Recently и newly относят уже завершенное событие к недавнему прошлому, но не включают момента речи и синонимичны словосочетаниям a short time ago, not long ago, a little while ago (back). При этом recently имеет более широкую сочетаемость и определяют глаголы и причастия прошедшего времени.It was only recently (a short time ago, not long ago) that he got a police warning about dangerous driving — Совсем недавно полиция его предупредила о нарушении правил езды.
Newly обычно употребляется только атрибутивно с причастиями прошедшего времени:newly painted fence — свежевыкрашенный забор;

USAGE:Русскому недавно соответствуют в английском языке наречия lately, recently и newly. Lately обозначает событие, которое началось незадолго до момента речи и обычно продолжается до этого момента или включает этот момент. Значение lately синонимично сочетаниям for/in the last/past few weeks (months, days): a lot has happened in the last few weeks /lately многое произошло за последние несколько недель; have you done any painting lately? вы что-нибудь нарисовали в последнее время?; I don't know what has come over her lately - she is so gloomy не знаю, что с ней последнее время происходит - она так мрачна; I have been trying to get in touch with you lately (for the past few days) я пытаюсь с вами связаться все последнее время. Lately, как правило, стоит после смыслового глагола, или в конце предложения: I haven't seen him lately. Recently может стоять в начале предложения или в середине предложения перед основным глаголом: I've recently reread the book. Я недавно перечитал эту книгу. Recently tte performance of this drama was renewed. Постановка этой пьесы была недавно обновлена. Recently и newly относят уже завершенное событие к недавнему прошлому, но не включают момента речи и синонимичны словосочетаниям a short time ago, not long ago, a little while ago (back).
