詞義辨析
during, over, throughout這幾個介詞均可表示“在…期間,在…時期以內(nèi)”。區(qū)別在于:
1、during既可以表示句中動詞所表示動作或狀態(tài)持續(xù)的時間段,也可以表示動作發(fā)生在一段時間中的某時間點上,但它不強調(diào)動作何時發(fā)生或何時結(jié)束。
例句:There happened many events during his term of presidential service.
在他的總統(tǒng)任期內(nèi),曾發(fā)生過許多事情。
2、over則往往強調(diào)經(jīng)過一段時間后所產(chǎn)生的結(jié)果。
例句:By the time we arrived the meeting was over.
我們到達時,會議已結(jié)束了。
3、throughout更注重時間進展的始末。
例句:Throughout history empires have waxed and waned.
歷史上各個帝國革故鼎新均有興衰。
