雖然都是表示四分壹的意思,它們是有區別的.區別就在於表達具體事物時,如表示時間,錢時,是不能互換的.
Time時間
3:15 a quarter past three or three fifteen
3:45 a quarter to four or three forty-five
coins硬幣
a quarter 25 cent
美國人生活中說:Could you change some quarters for me? I need to make a phone call. /I need to feed the meter.可不可以幫我換些25 cents,我要打電話或是放街邊停車表用.
games比賽
象NBA球賽,壹場比賽分四節,壹節就叫quarter.
在表達以上意思時,妳如果說one-fourth,會讓人不知所雲的.
2make one's way和fight one's way有什麽區別?
字面上區別就顯而易見了.
make one's way (to/towards )---go,就是去什麽地方
I will make my way home now.我要回家了.
fight one's way---To make (one's way) by struggle or striving: 拼搏,創出壹條路子
He fought his way to the top.他拼搏爬上了高層.(他通過個人努力,當上官了)
The gladiator fought his way out.(古羅馬)鬥士殺出壹條血路.
