During 和 for 这两个英语单词,都与时间有关,后面都是接时间段。二者的用法区别主要表现为:
- during:表示事情发生在某个时间段内的某个点上
- for:表示事情持续的时间长度
试着比较下面两句话:
- They went to Florida during the winter. (= at one point in the winter.)
他们是在冬天的某个时间点上去的Florida。
- They went to Florida for the winter. (= from the beginning to the end of the winter)
他们在Florida待了一整个冬天。
更多例子:
- She phoned me during the week to tell me that she was getting married. (在本周的某个时间给我打电话)
- We were in the cinema for three and a half hours.(在电影院待了3个半小时)
- Our flight to New York was delayed for seven hours. (推迟了3个小时)
- We went to Italy for a week. (在意大利待了一周)
最后,我们可以使用for来指代公共节假日,例如:
- He always goes to his mother's house for New Year. (每年元旦,他都会去他母亲那)
- Not: …
