原文:I was afraid she wouldn't get it done in time for the memorial.我还担心她来不及在纪念日前完工呢。
【in time, at times,on time的区别】
at times:有时;不时
例句:
The tide is, at times, very high.
潮水有时涨得很高。
I like Bob but he's very annoying at times.
我喜欢鲍勃,但是他有时也很烦人。
at a time:作“一次,每次”讲,常用于“数词+at a time”的结构中。例如:
Enter two at a time.
每次进来两人。
He checked them off one at a time as they came in.
他们进来时,他一个一个地核对。
注意它与at one time 的区别。at one time一般指“过去某一时期,曾一度(once)”或“同时”的意思。如表示“同时”,则两者可通用。例如:
At one time I used to like her, but not any more.
我曾一度很喜欢他,现在可不喜欢了。
in a time 和on a time 都是在一个时间的意思,另外还有2个短语需要也很重要in time和on time
in time
(1) Before a time limit expires.
及时:在时限到来之前
(2) Within an indefinite time; eventually:
最后,终于:在不定的时间内;最终:
In time they came to accept the harsh facts.
他们最终承认了严酷的事实
on time

按时,准时:按时间表的;准时的(地)
【日常用语】

整件事太纠结了。
