英语中时间的表达方法

1.所有的时间都可以用“小时 + 分钟”直接读:(顺读法)

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内,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

3.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

4.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

整点:

现在是两点整。

It's two.It's two o'clock.It's two o'clock sharp.It's two o'clock on the dot.It's two o'clock on the nose.It's exactly 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。

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。

*若想表明是上午,可在时间后加上.,如:thirteen past six .(上午六点十三分)。若想表明是下午,可在时间后加上.,如:four o'clock .(下午四点)。

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.)

英语中世纪、年月日的表达方式

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

A. 年份

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

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

另外: 2000 读作:two thousand1902 读作:nineteen hundred and two或 nineteen o two

如果要使用year,year放在数词之前,例如:in the year two fifty-three . 在公元前253年

B. 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。

C. 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

D. 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

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.
