基本解釋

用法辨析
- afternoon指正午以后至日落之前這段時(shí)間,譯為“下午”,復(fù)數(shù)形式afternoons指不斷重復(fù)的下午,起強(qiáng)調(diào)作用。書面語(yǔ)中可引申表示“后半期,后半”。
- 一般說(shuō)“在下午”用介詞in,但當(dāng)afternoon前有修飾成分如“某日的下午”或“星期×的下午”時(shí)用on,但當(dāng)其前又有時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)時(shí), on也可換為in。afternoon與this, that, yesterday, tomorrow, every, all等限定詞連用時(shí)相當(dāng)于副詞短語(yǔ),其前不使用介詞。afternoon用作狀語(yǔ)時(shí),其前也不使用介詞。
- afternoon也可置于另一名詞之前作定語(yǔ)。
- afternoon 由after和noon兩個(gè)詞組成,常以in the afternoon形式出現(xiàn),指“在下午”,也可說(shuō)during the afternoon;
- 有時(shí),afternoon前不可加in或on,如this afternoon (今天下午),yesterday afternoon (昨天下午)等表達(dá)方式;
- after noon較少用做狀語(yǔ)短語(yǔ),但shortly after noon (午后不久),immediately after noon (午后立即)是用比較廣泛。We left after noon today.
- 復(fù)數(shù)形式afternoons可用作副詞,指“在每天下午”。She helps me with English grammar afternoons. 每天下午,她都幫我學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法。
- 從時(shí)間意義上來(lái)說(shuō),人們通常把午飯后到下班前這段時(shí)間作為“afternoon”,而正常時(shí)間下班后開始作為“evening”,而“evening”和“night”之間的轉(zhuǎn)換往往取決于人們上床睡覺的時(shí)間。
