单词 | at(in, on) |
释义 | at : in : on — 125 1a. 表达时间,这 3 个介词都可使用,只是 at 多半用于点时间(参见词目 122 、 123 、 124 、 126 、 127 和 128 ), in 则是用于一段时间,如世纪、年份、季节、星期都可用它来引导,而 on 则通常用于某一天。 例如: Miss Susan will start at four ( o'clock ) in the afternoon. 苏珊小姐将于下午 4 时启程。 It was in the eighteenth century that his book was published. 他的书 18 世纪问世。 In the summer they often go to the seaside. 夏季他们常去海滨。 What month did he die in? 他是哪个月去世的? It happened in Easter week. 这是在复活节的那一周发生的。 On Sundays I am always at home. 星期天我经常在家。 1b. 周末和节日则要用 at 来引导(注:美国英语,周末 则是用 on 来引导的)。 例如: Are you going away at Christmas? 圣诞节那一天你出门吗? We are free at weekend. 周末我们有空。 比较: We visited them at Christmas. 我们在圣诞节期间去看他们了。 We visited them on Christmas day. 我们于圣诞节那天去看他们了。 1c. 但在个别地方却不是这样;这是习惯用法使然,不足以推翻上述的规则。 例如: We usually go to bed at ten at night. 我们通常晚上 10 时就寝。(不说… in night ) The pirate planes couldn't escape our punishment whetherthey flew over in the day or at night. 不管强盗飞机是在白天飞来还是在夜间飞来,都逃脱不了我们的惩罚。(不说… at day or at night ) 比较: This was our view in the past and is still our view at pre-sent. 这是我们过去的看法,也是我们现在的看法。(不说… in present ) This was our view in the past and is still our view in the pre-sent. 这是我们过去的看法,也是我们现在的看法。(不说… at the present ) |
