aminute、aday、amonth和ayear,哪個最長

a minute、a day、a month和a year,哪個最長?今天小編給大家帶來了 a minute、a day、a month和a year用法,希望能夠給幫助到大家,下面小編就和大家分享,來欣賞一下吧 。
a minute、a day、a month和a year,哪個最長?
如果我問你:a minute、a day、a month和a year這四個選項里,哪個時間最短?相信你一定會回答a minute 。它只有一分鐘,當然比一天、一個月和一年短 。
沒錯,合情合理 。可是,如果我再告訴你,a minute同時又是時間最長的選項,你信嗎?
Trust me, I'm not kidding. 因為a minute的引申義是quite a while,a long time,它沒有定數,可以長達many years 。
A: But you did good, just like I knew you would!
B: I'm not you, mom.
A: Well, I wasn't always me, either. It took me a minute to get here.
C: OK, we, we need to get her to a hospital.
D: No, I, I'll be fine. So you were just gonna leave me to die? What the hell were you thinking?
C: I showed up, didn't I?
D: You took your damn time.
C: Well, I needed a minute!
也許你會覺得很困惑:不是經常有人說wait a minute這樣的話嗎?這里的a minute顯然是a short time 。那到底怎么判斷a minute是長是短呢?沒個統一標準,豈不天下大亂?
放心,你只需要記住一個簡單原則:如果說的是現在或將來的情形,a minute就是原始用法,等于a short time;比如:Hold on a minute! I'll be back in a minute. 如果說的是過去的情形,a minute就是引申用法,等于a long time 。比如:It took them a minute to finish the project. It's been a minute since I last saw you.
BTW, 有一檔NPR的知名節目叫It's Been A Minute,這個名字的來由也是:Well, it's been a long time since we talked to each other. Let's have a proper chat!
【aminute、aday、amonth和ayear,哪個最長】that day與on the day用法的區別
用法上稍有區別,2113that day 既可作主語、賓語5261、也可做時間狀語; 而 on the day 只能4102做狀語,做狀語時兩1653個可以互換 。
that day 中,that是形容詞,day 名詞,所以它是一個名詞詞組 -- 那天
on the day 中,on 介詞,the day 特定的一天,因有定冠詞the,翻譯是一樣的
舉例說明:
That day will be the happiest day in my life.
那一天將是我一生中最幸福的一天 。
that day 做主語 (不能用 on the day 代替)
I will remember that day forever. 我會永遠記住那一天的 。
這里的that day 是賓語 (不能用 on the day 代替)
I remembered what happened that day. 我記起那天發生的事了 。
that day 是狀語 (可以用 on the day 代替)
回答樓主的補充提問:
It was a cold winter day in 1900. ( )he could have no breakfast or lunch.
這里以為是做狀語用,that day 和 on the day 都可以用 。但如果選擇一個,我會選that day 。應為on the day 放在句尾的情況為多,而且與that day比較,有強調“在”(那天)的含義 。而that day就讓整個句子流暢很多,只是說那一天 。。。
