英语中的时间表达法
对时间点表达的考查一直是英语的重点,它渗透到各个题型中,而且,在日常生活中我们也会经常用到。另外,对世纪、年月日的表达比较繁琐,就算对学习英语很多年的人来说,也不见得可以表达准确。所以,今天我们就一起来学习吧!
?01
时间点的表达
1、所有的时间都可以用“小时 + 分钟”直接读:
6:10 six ten
8:30 eight thirty
2:40 two forty
2、如果所表述的时间在半小时之内,可以用“分钟 + past + 小时”:
6:10 ten past six
4:20 twenty past four
10:25 twenty-five past ten
3、如果所表述的时间在半小时之外,可以用“(相差的)分钟 + to + (下一)小时”:
10:35 twenty-five to eleven
5:50 ten to six
9:49 eleven to ten
4、如果所表述的时间恰好为半小时,可以用“half + past + 小时”:
11:30 half past eleven
2:30 half past two
5、如果所表述的分钟和15有关,就有三种表达法:
(15分钟又叫一刻钟:a quarter)
9:15 nine fifteen ; fifteen past nine ; a quarter past nine
3:45 three forty-five ; fifteen to four ; a quarter to four
6、整点的表达:
现在是两点整。It's two./It's two o clock.
另外英语中的 noon 和midnight 可分别直接表示白天和夜晚的12点:
It's (twelve) noon. 现在是中午十二点。
It's (twelve) midnight. 现在是半夜零点。
7、大约时间:
It's almost two. 马上到两点了。
It's not quite two. 还不到两点。
It's just after two. 刚过两点。
8、若想表明是上午,可在时间后加上a.m.
如:thirteen past six a.m.(上午六点十三分)。
若想表明是下午,可在时间后加上p.m.
如:four o clock p.m.(下午四点)。
9.句子范例
1. It's nine forty-five. =It's a quarter to ten.
2. It's two seventeen. =It's seventeen past two.
3. It's three. =It's three o clock.
4. It's nine thirty. =It's half past nine.
5. It's six fifteen. =It's a quarter past six.
6. It's three fifty. =It's ten to four.

世纪、年代、年、月、日的表达
1、世纪:
①用“定冠词+序数词+century”表示
例:在十七世纪 写作:in the 17th century,读作:in the seventeenth century
②用“定冠词+百位进数+s”表示
例:在十七世纪 写作:in the 1600s,读作:in the sixteen hundreds
注意:这种情况下,实际表达的世纪数是阿拉伯数字本身加一。
2、年代
用“定冠词+(世纪百位进数+十位年代数)+s”表示
例:在二十世纪三十年代 写作:in the 1930s,读作:in the thirties of the twentieth century或 in the nineteen thirties
表示某年代的早期、中期和晚期,可以在定冠词后添加early, mid-和late
例如:
在二十世纪二十年代早期 in the early 1920s;
在二十世纪五十年代中期 in the mid-1950s
3、年月日
1)年份
① 读年份时一般分为两个单位来读,前两个数为一个,后两个数为一个:
1949 读作:nineteen forty-nine或nineteen hundred and forty-nine
② 如果是三位数,先读第一位,再把后两个数合起来读:
253 读作:two fifty-three或two hundred and fifty-three
③ 另外:2000 读作:two thousand,1902 读作:nineteen hundred and two或 nineteen o two
④ 如果要使用year,year放在数词之前
例如:in the year two fifty-three B.C. 在公元前253年
2)月份
月份是专有名词,除了少数几个月份外都有缩写形式:
January – Jan. 一月
February – Feb. 二月
March – Mar. 三月
April – Apr. 四月
August – Aug. 八月
September – Sept. 九月
October – Oct. 十月
November – Nov. 十一月
December – Dec. 十二月
注意:缩写形式后面的点不能省略,因为它是表示缩写形式的符号。
3)日期:
用序数词表示
例:十月一日 写作:October 1, October 1st, 1 October, 1st October, (the) 1st of October等,其中的October都可以写成缩写形式Oct.
读作:October the first或the first of October
4)年月日
用英语表达年月日的顺序:
① 月日年
例:2002年1月17日
写作:January 17(th), 2002或January seventeenth, 2002(日和年之间需用逗号隔开)
读作:January the seventeenth, two thousand and two
②日月年
例:2002年1月17日
写作:17(th) January, 2002或the seventeenth of January, 2002(月和年之间需用逗号隔开)
读作:the seventeenth of January, two thousand and two
4. 介词的使用:
若指在哪一年或哪一月,用介词in;若具体到某一天,需用介词on。
例如:
She was born in 1989.
She was born in August.
She was born in August 1989.
She was born on 2nd August, 1989.

"Normalize discovering and chasing new dreams in 30's. Normalize finding love in your 40's. Normalize finding yourself and your purpose in your 50's. Life doesn't and end at 25. Let's stop acting like it does."
到了30多岁才找到自己的梦想并为之努力很正常,到了40多岁陷入爱情也很正常,到了50多岁才意识到自己的人生价值和目标也很正常。你的人生并不是到了25岁就戛然而止,我们不要表现得好似如此。
