every two與every second的區(qū)別
1. every two…的意思是“每?jī)蓚€(gè)……”,后接復(fù)數(shù)名詞。如:
He gets home leave every two years. 他每?jī)赡暧幸淮翁接H假。
You must take your medicine every two hours. 你得每?jī)尚r(shí)服藥一次。
I have violin lessons every two weeks. 我每?jī)蓚€(gè)星期上一次小提琴課。
They are all expected to send in a written report every two months. 他們每?jī)蓚€(gè)月都得交一份書面報(bào)告。
2. every second…的意思是“每第二個(gè)……”,后接單數(shù)名詞。如:
The nurse comes every second day. 護(hù)士每隔一天來一次。
We meet every second Tuesday. 我們隔周星期二見面一次。
從以上例句可以看出,every two和every second意思大致相同。另外,我們還可以說every other…,意思也差不多。如:
Write on every other line. 請(qǐng)隔行寫。
We meet every other Tuesday. 我們隔周星期二見面一次。
I work every other day:Monday, Wednesday and Friday. 我隔天上班:每周一,三,五。
