英语词汇正误辨析:使用during的两个错点
日期:2009-03-19 11:05

(单词翻译:单击)

错点1 将during误用连词

表示“在……期间”,是介词,不要将其误用作连词。如:

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.

正:While he was in Paris, he lived with his friends.

正:During his stay in Paris, he lived with his friends.

由于 during 本身为介词,其后通常不再接介词短语。如:

误:During in Paris, he lived with his friends. (from www.yywords.com)

错点2 混淆during与for

during 和 for 均可表示一段时间,但两者有差别:during 通常表示事件发生的在何时(when),而 for则表示事件持续了多长时间(how long)。如:

He was in hospital for six weeks during the summer. 他在夏天住了六个星期的医院。

A:When did he die? 他是什么时候死的?

B:During the last war. 是在上次战争中。(此句不能用 for)

A:How long did you live there? 你在那儿住过多久?

B:For about three years. 大约三年。(此句不能用 during)
