1、意思是“不久”,可指“将来”,表示“预期的时刻不久就会到来”。

2、用以谈论不久将来的事或在过去某时间以后不久所发生的事,强调两个时间的接续关系。

回答2:

It was not long before he was born that his mother died. 这句话是一句强调句,它本身实际上已经不属于“It was not long....before”的结构。
注意这里是it+动词be+that的结构,是强调句形式。强调句有一个特点:去掉it was 以及后面的that之后句子的意思没有变化。因此这句话可以改为:
Not long before he was born his mother died.

It was not long before he realized the fact这句话可以分开来理解:It was not long表示时间并不长;before是指在××之前;he realized the fact他知道真相。全句话的意思也比较简单:他刚刚知道真相。

回答3:

before
long作“不久,很快”解,相当于soon,可用于过去时,也可用于将来时,而且只能单独作状语,后面不能接从句。如:
before
long
he
had
to
move
on
again.
不久,他只得再次搬迁。
i
hope
to
see
you
again
before
long.
我希望不久可以见到你。
long
before作“在……以前很久、很久以前”解,可接从句,这时before为连词;如:
mark
learned
to
read
long
before
he
started
school.
马克上学之前很早就学会了看书。
the
invention
had
been
widely
studied
long
before
it
was
put
to
use.
这项发明在投入使用前进行了广泛研究。
也可什么都不接,这时before是副词。如:
he
told
me
that
he
had
seen
the
film
long
before.
他告诉我他早就看过这部电影了。

回答4:

It was not long/ before he was born that his mother died.
It was not long/ before he realized the fact.
这中间存在一个句子划分的问题,我上面这样划开是不能明白一些?
第2句是说"不久他就认识到了那个事实"
BEFORE 引起的是时间状语从句

回答5:

直接翻译成不久,意思是不久他就意识到了事实真相。
