釋義：

take time 需要多少時(shí)間

take 后面如果接時(shí)間名詞的話就會(huì)變成“需要多少時(shí)間”的意思，由此衍生出的表達(dá)還有 it takes+時(shí)間+to ...(做某事需要多少時(shí)間），how long does it take to ... ?(做某事需要多少時(shí)間？）等等。當(dāng)然，除了時(shí)間名詞之外還可以接 courage 等一般名詞。

It takes around 1 hour for me to get there.
去那兒大概需要 1 個(gè)小時(shí)。
It took me a long time to find you.
