在口语中或朗读英文时,经常有需要表达时间的情况出现.如何准确地用英语表达时间呢?总的来说,有两种表达方法.
一、直接读数字.如:如
7:00 读作:seven或seven o’clock 8:30 读作:eight thirty
9:15 读作:nine fifteen 10:30 读作:ten thirty
11:59 读作:eleven fifty - nine
从以上五例中可看出:时间可以直接用基数词表示.表示整点时,可直接读小时的数字,也可在后面加上o’clock来读;表示零几分时,“零”一般读/ /.
二、借助past和to来表示
1.分钟小于或等于30的用past.past表示“超过”的意思,其中15分读作a quarter,30分钟读作half.如:
6:08 读作:eight past six 7:15 读作:a quarter past seven
8:23 读作:twenty - three past eight 9:30 读作:half past nine
2.分钟大于30的用to.to表示“差多少”的“差”,因此,分钟大于30的就要看看它与“小时”加“1”还差多少分钟.读“分钟”时,差多少分钟就读多少;读“小时”时要加“1”.其中45分钟是差15分钟,也要读作a quarter.如:
4:32 读作:twenty - eight to five
6:45 读作:a quarter to seven
11:58 读作:two to twelve
12:49 读作:eleven to one(12小时制)
eleven to thirteen(24小时制)
归纳以上借助past和to表达时间的方法,可以编如下的顺口溜记忆其规律:
30分以内,分在前,点在后,past在中间;
30分以外,分用60减,点要加上1,用to来连接.
时间表达方法
4:00 four o'clock
04:00 four in the morning 4 a.m
16:00 four in the afternoon 4 p.m
21:00 nine in the evening
9 p.m nine at night
12:00 twelve o'clock
12:00 twelve in the morning,
12 a.m midday
00:00 twelve at night 12 p.m midnight
12:15,00:15 a quarter past twelve quarter past twelve twelve fifteen
a quarter after twelve
02:25,14:25 twenty-five past two
twenty-five minutes past two
two twenty-five
twenty-five after two
11:30,23:30 half past eleven

half eleven
half after eleven
12:45,00:45 a quarter to one

twelve forty-five
07:50,19:50 ten to eight
