我们总是抱怨时间过得太快,眼睛一闭一睁,一年过去了,
那么“时间不够”的英文,可不能说Time isn't enough哦!
快来学正确表达吧!
时间不够 The time isn't enough.
There isn't enough time.
We don't have enough time.
Time isn't enough错在哪里?
1.时间是客观的,不会不够,不够的是我们,没有足够的时间
2. 只有句子中主语是代名词,
比如it/there/that/this的时候,enough才能做补语,
直接出现在后面,比如That's enough.
Thank you.够了,谢谢
例句:
There isn't enough time for us to catch the concert.
我们没时间去看演唱会了。
我想去拜访某人
I would like to visit Mr. Johnson. ✖
I am here to see Mr. Johnson. ✔
什么情况下可以用Visit?
Visit和See都有拜访,探望的意思,如果是计划拜访某人,
你可以说I plan to visit someone. 但如果你已经到门口,
而且是和对方约好了,用see比较自然.
例句:
I am here to see Mr. Jack.
我是来拜访杰克先生的。
Sure, follow me, please.
好的,您跟我来。
餐厅几点关门?
When is your restaurant closed?✖
How late are you open? ✔
为什么关门时间不能用 closed?
商店的开和关,在中文和英文中都有两层意思,
开:可以是开门,营业;
关:可以是关门,或者歇业的意思;
句中closed作为动词,而且是被动形式,
让人听起来,好像在问,您家什么时候歇业,关门大吉
例句:
How late are you open?
您家开到几点?
Until midnight
到半夜。
