对时刻点表达的查询一向是大学英语的要点,它渗透到各个题型中,稍不留心就简略失分,而且英语中世纪、年月日的表达比照繁琐,就算对学习英语许多年的人来说,也不见得可以表达精确。
今日小简教师就为我们总结了大学英语考试中常常呈现的时刻表达方法,期望我们可以记牢,考试时必定不要在这种小当地失分。
%20时刻点的表达
%201、一切的时刻都可以用“小时+分钟”直接读:
%206:10%20six%20ten
%208:30%20eight%20thirty
%202:40%20two%20forty
%202、假定所表述的时刻在半小时之内,可以用“分钟+past+小时”:
%206:10%20ten%20past%20six
%204:20%20twenty%20past%20four
%2010:25%20twenty-five%20past%20ten
%203、假定所表述的时刻在半小时之外,可以用“(相差的)分钟+to+(下一)小时”:
%2010:35%20twenty-five%20to%20eleven
%205:50%20ten%20to%20six
%209:49%20eleven%20to%20ten
%204、假定所表述的时刻刚好为半小时,可以用“half+past+小时”:
%2011:30%20half%20past%20eleven
%202:30%20half%20past%20two
%205、假定所表述的分钟和15有关,就有三种表达法:
%20(15分钟又名一刻钟:a%20quarter)
%209:15%20nine%20fifteen;fifteen%20past%20nine;a%20quarter%20past%20nine
%203:45%20three%20forty-five;fifteen%20to%20four;a%20quarter%20to%20four
%206、整点的表达:
%20如今是两点整。It's%20two./It's%20two%20o'clock.
%20另外英语中的noon和midnight可别离直接标理解日和夜晚的12点:
%20It's(twelve)noon.如今是正午十二点。
%20It's(twelve)midnight.如今是深夜
零点。
7、大约时刻:
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、若想标明是上午,可在时刻后加上a.m.
如:thirteen past six a.m.(上午六点十三分)。
若想标明是下午,可在时刻后加上p.m.
如:four o'clock p.m.(下午四点)。
9.语句典范
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”标明
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”标明
例:在十七世纪写作:in the 1600s,读作:in the sixteen hundreds
留心:这种情况下,实践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”标明
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
标明某年代的前期、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前期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假定是三位数,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假定要运用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,除了少量几个月份外都有缩写方法:
January-Jan.一月
February-Feb.二月
March-Mar.三月
April-Apr.四月
August-Aug.8月
September-Sept.九月
October-Oct.十月
November-Nov.十一月
December-Dec.十二月
留心:缩写方法后边的点不能省掉,因为它是标明缩写方法的符号。
3)日期:
用序数词标明
例:十月一日写作:October 1,October 1st,1 October,1st October,(the)1st of October等,其间的October都可以写成缩写方法Oct.
读作:October the first或the first of October
4)年月日
用英语表达年月日的次序:
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离隔)
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离隔)
读作:the seventeenth of January,two thousand and two
4.介词的运用:
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.回来搜狐,查看更多
