A decade 指十年的时间。日常说十天时直接用 ten days,不用 decade。Decade 在口语和学术写作中都常见,尤其适合描述长时间的变化:a decade ago, over the past decade。
decade:这次词义能选对吗?
写一句英语,检查词义是否符合内容并查看错误解释。
本次检查比平时稍久,完成后反馈会自动显示在这里。
a decade ago; for a decade; over/in the past decade; for two/several decades; the first ten days of + month (not decade)
- I moved to Kazan a decade ago, and I've never wanted to live anywhere else.
- Online learning has changed a lot over the past decade.
- My parents have run the same small hotel for almost two decades.
修改原因
修改前The results will be published in the first decade of June.
修改后The results will be published in the first ten days of June.
有些语言中,相似的词可以指十天,因此类似 the first decade of June 的说法很自然。但这里的英语 decade 表示十年,句子就像在说六月的前十年。应说 the first ten days of June;如果不强调确切日期,也可以说 in early June。
指日历上的某个年代时,通常说 the 1990s 或 the nineties:My parents met in the nineties. 强调时间长度时更适合用 decade:over the past decade 表示过去十年间。
动手练习
Our office will be closed for the first ___ of May because of the holidays.
查看答案
ten days — 句子说的是五月开头的几天,因此选 ten days。A decade 是十年,不可能装在一个月里。
写你的城市或职业在过去十年中的变化。使用 decade,并举一个具体例子。
Over the past decade, my town has got a new tram line, so I no longer need a car to get to work.
