Time Expressions 時間表達
Andrea: Oh yes, here it is. The visit is starting at 10.00 am. That’s in just over an hour from now. It’s scheduled to last for two hours. First we’ll take them into the main conference room. We’ll show them the video about the history of the company. That lasts no more than 20 minutes. And we’ll give everybody a plan of the factory floor so they know where they are. George Paterson will come over at about 11.00 to answer any questions they might have on the production process and so on. Then, at about half past eleven we’ll start the tour of the actual production area.
Andrea says:
The visit is starting at 10:00 am.
參觀在上午10點鐘
To be more precise she could say: （更精確的）
The visit is starting at 10:00 am prompt (or 10:00am sharp)
參觀在上午10點正
Andrea expresses a future time with:（表示將來的事情）
That’s in just over an hour from now.

If it was less than an hour she could say:（如果表示不超過1個小時的將來）
That’s in just under an hour from now.

Andrea gives an approximate time with: （表示時間的概數）

at 11ish
