标题: 一个特殊的时间表达方式 [打印本页] 作者: c2j 时间: 26-9-2008 18:11 标题: 一个特殊的时间表达方式 我听2GB 873AM,发觉主持人报时间有个很特殊的表达,比如6:04,他们不说four past six,他们说的是four to half past six.
这个表达很奇怪啊.我们如果用标准的语法去说的话起码是twenty-six to half past six,为什么是four to half past six呢?亦或是约定俗成就是这样说?
倒是6:40的时候又用标准语法的twenty to seven了.

never heard of that...
r u sure it was 6:04 not 6:24?作者: c2j 时间: 26-9-2008 19:47
i'm sure of the time, 6:04, but not quite sure about what i heard. sounds like "four to half past six". Maybe it's not "to" but something else.
