nciku Note

将来, 今后 and 以后

这三个时间名词都表示某个时间以后的未来一段时间。“将来”和“今后”指现在之后，“以后”也可以指过去某个时间之后。另外，三个词虽然都可做主语、宾语，但“将来”这样用的时候，除表达较正式外，还能受定语修饰。“今后”较“以后”略显正式。
These three words all indicate a period of time after a certain moment. 将来 and 今后 indicate the time after the present moment, while 以后 can also indicate the time after a moment in the past. Moreover, all three words can function as the subject or object, but 将来 sounds more formal and can take an attributive. 今后 is more formal than 以后.
（1）他将来（以后/今后）一定会很有出息。
（2）你将来（今后/以后）要学会应对类似的事情。
“以后”也可以表示过去某个时间之后。
Sometimes 以后 can indicate the time after a certain moment.
（3）一个月前我们还一起吃过饭，但是从那以后，我们就再也没有联系了。
（4）他回来以后找过你两次。
其他两个词不能这样用。
The other two words cannot be so used.
“将来”可以受定语修饰，而其他两个词不可以。
将来 can be modified by an attributive, while the other two cannot.
（5）虽然现状并不乐观，但是我坚信你们一定能有一个美好的将来。
