在英语中,时间表达的常用方法有两种。
一种是顺读法,先说时针所指的,后说分针所指的数字。如9:20,英语表达为:nine twenty. 9:50,英语表达为:nine fifty。
另一种是倒读法,所谓倒读就是先说分针所指,再说时针所指的数字。如9:20, 英语表达为:twenty past nine. 9:50,英语表达为: ten to ten。9:30, 英语表达为:half past nine。
从刚才的图例中看,我们可以把钟分作两半,半小时前的那半我们用了一个单词past(过),半小时以后的另一半我们用另一个单词to(差)来表达时间。
除此,在表达15分钟,以及45分钟时,我们用了一个单词quarter( 一刻)。一样道理,前半小时里用past,后半小时用to。9:15,英语表达为:a quarter past nine, 9:45则是a quarter to ten.意思是:差一刻就到10点。
