1.one-fourth和a quarter有什么区别?
虽然都是表示四分一的意思,它们是有区别的.区别就在于表达具体事物时,如表示时间,钱时,是不能互换的.
Time时间
3:15 a quarter past three or three fifteen
3:45 a quarter to four or three forty-five
coins硬币
a quarter 25 cent
美国人生活中说:Could you change some quarters for me?I need to make a phone call./I need to feed the meter.可不可以帮我换些25 cents,我要打电话或是放街边停车表用.
games比赛
象NBA球赛,一场比赛分四节,一节就叫quarter.
在表达以上意思时,你如果说one-fourth,会让人不知所云的.
2make one's way和fight one's way有什么区别?
字面上区别就显而易见了.
make one's way (to/towards )---go,就是去什么地方
I will make my way home now.我要回家了.
fight one's way---To make (one's way) by struggle or striving:拼搏,创出一条路子
He fought his way to the top.他拼搏爬上了高层.(他通过个人努力,当上官了)
The gladiator fought his way out.(古罗马)斗士杀出一条血路.
