英语的时间表示方法

一、英语的时间表示方法

It's at twenty past ten on Saturday, Jan.(the) twenty -first,2007. 口语当中说日期的时候前面一定要加定冠词the但是在书写的时候，可以不写．有的版本也出现了写的情况． 最正确的答案 我用雅斯的分数和我女朋友专业八级的水准告诉你．

二、时间在美式英语中怎么用?

魔法师jia, what is nine past fifty? With my professional translation, that will be 50:9(五十点九分,你过两天呵). And, nine to ten should be 9:51, nah, you are killing me.

Wow, that is the biggest joke in 21st century.

past:X小时Y分, 就是Y past X (在北美国家,分钟数小于30才用past.如果是等于30分钟的话,要说half past X.其实怎么用都可以,只是不规范)

example:

1:03=three past one

4:12=twelve past four

7:30=half past seven

to:X小时Y分, 就是(60-Y) to (X+1) (同样,分钟数大于30的才用这个比较难受的说法.)

example:

6:31=twenty-nine to seven

9:48=twelve to ten

10:51=nine to eleven

还有,在北美,人们不用这种说法,他们就是先说小时数,再说分钟数.

example:

3:08=three O eight(O就是英语字母表里第15个字母,等于数字零)

5:38=five thirty-eight

11:45=eleven fourty-five

15分钟可以说成一个quarter

example:

2:15=a quarter past two

3:45=a quarter to four

三、求一篇关于时间的英语对话

Would you tell me what you think of time?

Well, I think time is everything.
