Days
“Days” 可指多个日历天、白天与黑夜的“白天”部分,或比喻人生/历史上的阶段(in those days)。与 “day” 相比,复数更强调延续或多次重复。
- “The festival lasts for three days.” (节庆持续三天。)
- “In the old days, people wrote letters instead of texting.” (从前人们写信而不是发短信。)
- “Sunny days are perfect for hiking in the hills.” (晴朗的日子很适合去山里徒步。)
“Day” 源自古英语 “dæg”,与德语 “Tag” 同源;复数 “-s” 为规则变化。
词干 “day” 加规则复数后缀 “-s”。
“These days” 表示“如今”;“day in, day out” 形容日复一日;注意 “every day”(副词短语)与 “everyday”(形容词)拼写差异。
- 固定搭配: “these days” (如今), “the good old days” (过去的好时光), “days off” (休息日)
一天是 day,许多天排成日历格,就是 days。
“During the rainy days, the café stayed full of readers with steaming mugs.” (下雨的日子里,咖啡馆里坐满了端着热杯的读者。)
