原文:I was afraid she wouldn't get it done in time for the memorial.我還擔心她來不及在紀念日前完工呢。
【in time, at times,on time的區別】
at times:有時;不時
例句:
The tide is, at times, very high.
潮水有時漲得很高。
I like Bob but he's very annoying at times.
我喜歡鮑勃,但是他有時也很煩人。
at a time:作“一次,每次”講,常用于“數詞+at a time”的結構中。例如:
Enter two at a time.
每次進來兩人。
He checked them off one at a time as they came in.
他們進來時,他一個一個地核對。
注意它與at one time 的區別。at one time一般指“過去某一時期,曾一度(once)”或“同時”的意思。如表示“同時”,則兩者可通用。例如:
At one time I used to like her, but not any more.
我曾一度很喜歡他,現在可不喜歡了。
in a time 和on a time 都是在一個時間的意思,另外還有2個短語需要也很重要in time和on time
in time
(1) Before a time limit expires.
及時:在時限到來之前
(2) Within an indefinite time; eventually:
最后,終于:在不定的時間內;最終:
In time they came to accept the harsh facts.
他們最終承認了嚴酷的事實
on time
(1) According to schedule; punctual or punctually.
按時,準時:按時間表的;準時的(地)
【日常用語】
