对时间点表达的考查一直是高考英语的重点,它渗透到各个题型中,而且,在日常生活中我们也会经常用到。另外,对世纪、年月日的表达比较繁琐,就算对学习英语很多年的人来说,也不见得可以表达准确。所以,大撕兄今天在网上找来了这两方面的内容,一起来和同学们学习!

3、如果所表述的时间在半小时之外,可以用“(相差的)分钟 + to + (下一)小时”:
10:35 twenty-five to eleven

It's not quite two. 还不到两点。
It's just after two. 刚过两点。
如:thirteen past six a.m.(上午六点十三分)。
如:four o'clock p.m.(下午四点)。

例:在十七世纪 写作:in the 1600s,读作:in the sixteen hundreds
注意:这种情况下,实际表达的世纪数是阿拉伯数字本身加一。
用“定冠词+(世纪百位进数+十位年代数)+s”表示

表示某年代的早期、中期和晚期,可以在定冠词后添加early, mid-和late

① 读年份时一般分为两个单位来读,前两个数为一个,后两个数为一个:

② 如果是三位数,先读第一位,再把后两个数合起来读:
253 读作:two fifty-three或two hundred and fifty-three
③ 另外:2000 读作:two thousand,1902 读作:nineteen hundred and two或 nineteen o two
例如:in the year two fifty-three B.C. 在公元前253年

读作:October the first或the first of October
