【知识点讲解】
1. 这一课我们来学习表达准确时间的说法。首先时、分、秒的说法分别是:hour, minute, second;表达整点的说法很简单,可以直接说数字,或数字加o'clock。比如8点钟,可说It's eight. 或者 It's eight o'clock.
表示更精确到分钟的方法有两种。比如8点20分,可以直接按顺序说出数字:It's eight twenty;也可以先说分秒,再说整点:It's twenty past eight.
半点和15分钟有特别的表达方式,比如8点半,可以说成eight thrity,也可以说成half past eight;一刻钟也可说成a quarter,比如8点15分可说成eight fifteen,或a quarter past eight(注意不能说成eight a quarter);或者差一刻9点,可表达为eight fourty five,也可以说成a quarter to nine.
2. return ticket,往返票;在美式英语中讲 round ticket. __________________________________________________
