今天我们就一起来学习下关于秋天的词汇吧,
1. autumn years 是什么意思
剑桥词典是这样解释:Someone's autumn years are the later years of their life,
especially after they have stopped working.
其实很好理解,如果把一年四季比喻人的一生,
秋天接近一年的结束所以 autumn years:(尤指退休后的)迟暮,暮年
例句:
① In his autumn years,
Jason was able to travel to any places he likes.
到了晚年,杰森可以去任何他喜欢的地方旅游了。
② Tom wants to spend his autumn years in Hangzhou and go fishing everyday.
汤姆想在杭州安度晚年,每天都去钓鱼。
之前很多小伙伴问小编,同样是秋天的意思,
autumn 和 fall 到底有什么不同?
2. year in,year out
“year in,year out”是英式表达,美式表达是“year in and year out”,
它的意思是“every year, especially in a way that seems boring”,即“(尤指单调沉闷地)年复一年,年年”。
同样地,我们可以用“day in,day out”来表达“日复一日”哦。
比如:我们每年春节都回老家团圆--年年如此。
We go back to hometown to get together at Spring Festival year in , year out。
3. in season的三种用法
① in season = 水果和蔬菜)当令的
例句:
Fruit is cheaper when it's in season.
当令水果要便宜一些。
以此类推,out of season = 水果和蔬菜)不当令的。
例句:
In Europe, tomatoes are out of season in winter.
在欧洲,西红柿在冬季不是时令蔬菜。
② in season=(雌性动物)在发情期 / in season=(动物)在狩猎期
③ in season = 在旅游旺季 / out of season=在旅游淡季
例句:
