immediately, at once, directly, instantly, prently, right away
这组词(组)的共同意思是“立即”“马上”。其区别在于:
1.at once主要指动作迅速,但中间多有一段距离,且at once比immediately意味更强。例如:
I'm leaving for Rome at once.我马上去罗马。
He gave orders for the work to be started at once.他下令立即开始那项工作。
2.immediately侧重指时间“紧接着”。例如:
I came immediately after I'd eaten.吃过饭我立即就来了。

I left immediately when the clock struck twelve.钟刚打12点我就离去了。
3.right away经常出现在美式英语中。例如:

He had written down a list of things to do right away.他已写下须立即做的事情。
Don't expect them to approve of the design right away.不能期望他们马上批准这项设计。
4.instantly也是指动作迅速,但它更强调的是同时发生,中间有很短的距离或无距离。例如:
The electrician went instantly in answer to the phone call.电工师傅一接到电话马上就去了。
He was killed instantly in a car accident.在车祸中,他当场死亡。
5.directly强调“直接地”,多与“迂回绕过”相对。例如:

6.prently强调过一会再去做某事。例如:
