prep. 在…的时候;在…期间,当…之时;其间;
1. 表示“在……期间”,是介词,不要将其误用作连词。如:
学习啦在线学习网他在巴黎期间,与他的朋友住在一起。
误:During he was in Paris, he lived with his friends.
学习啦在线学习网正:While he was in Paris, he lived with his friends.
正:During his stay in Paris, he lived with his friends.
学习啦在线学习网2. during 和 for 均可表示一段时间,但两者有差别。
(1) during 通常表示事件发生在何时(when),而for则表示事件持续了多长时间(how long)。如:
学习啦在线学习网He was in hospital for six weeks during the summer. 他在夏天住了 6 个星期的医院。
学习啦在线学习网(2) 两者之后均可接由 the whole 引起的时间短语,但通常不能接由 all 引起的时间短语。如:
他整个夏天都住在那儿。
正:He stayed there for [during] the whole summer.
误:He stayed there for [during] all the summer.
学习啦在线学习网(3) 在“数词+时间名词”之前以及在some time, a long time之类表示泛指一段时间的词组之前,可用介词 for,但不用 during。如:
He lived here for ten years (for some time). 他在这儿住过 10 年(一段时间)。
2. during与in均可表示“时间点”,有时可互换。如:
I’ll be on holiday in [during] August. 我将在8月度假。
学习啦在线学习网He woke up three times in [during] the night. 夜里他醒了 3 次。
学习啦在线学习网但在使用时还有以下几点要注意:
(1) 比较而言,during 更强调时间的延续,in 只是指一般性的某一时间。因此若表示状态或习惯性动作,多用during,否则以用in为常见。如:
学习啦在线学习网Many people suffered hardship during the war. 许多人在战争期间受苦遭难。
He was injured in the war. 他在战争期间受了伤。
学习啦在线学习网(2) 在stay, visit, meal等表示行为要持续一段时间的名词之前,只能用during 而不能用in。如:
The phone rang during the meal. 吃饭时电话铃响了
学习啦在线学习网I went to see my aunt during my stay in Beijing. 在北京逗留期间,我去看了我的姑妈。
(3) 与季节名词连用,in表泛指,during表特指。如:
学习啦在线学习网In summer we often camp in the forest. 夏天我们常在森林里露营。(泛指)
学习啦在线学习网During the summer we camped in the forest. 今年夏天我们在森林里露营。(特指)
