  • 词义辨析

    save a day, save the day

    save a day的意思是“省了一天的时间”, save the day的意思则是“反败为胜,转危为安”。例如:
    We saved a day by taking a plane there.我们乘飞机去那里,因而节省了一天的时间。
    The team was behind, but at the last minute Tom saved the day with a touchdown.这支球队一直落后,然而在最后的时刻汤姆一次底线得分使球队反败为胜。

    by day, by the day

    前者意思是“在白天”; 而后者意思是“按日计算”。例如:
    We travelled by day and stayed at inns at night.我们白天旅行,晚上住在客栈。
    In some countries, most of the workers get their pay by the day.在某些国家里,大部分工人是按日计酬的。

    of a day, of the day

    前者意思是“短促”; 而后者意思是“当时,当代”。例如:
    It is nothing than a stuff of a day.这无非是昙花一现而已。
    It was a twice-told tale of the day.这便是当时传诵一时的老话题。

    day after day, day by day

    这两个短语意义和用法都不相同。它们的区别是:
    1.day by day在句中用作副词,作状语; 而day after day除用作状语外,还可用作主语、宾语等。
    2.day after day的意思是“每天,天天”,表示动作的重复和时间的长久,强调连续性; 而day by day含有“逐渐转变”的意味,常和turn, grow, change等含有转变意义的动词连用。

    every day, daily

    两者都可作“每天”解。但两者所表达的意境色彩不全一样:
    We do not have lessons every day.
    我们不是天天都有课。
    We do not have lessons daily.
    我们每天都没有课。

    day, date

    这两个词都有“日,天”的意思。它们的区别在于:
    1.date指某种事发生的“日期”,不一定只指某一天,可以统指年、月、日,一般用单数; day指一周中的“某一天,一整天”等,意为“白天,日子”,又专指星期几。例如:
    Has the date for the meeting fixed?开会的日期决定了没有?
    The first day of a week is Sunday.一个星期的第一天是星期天。
    2.在询问“某天是什么日子”时,两词都可用,但意义不同, date问的是“日期”,而day问的是“星期几”。例如:
    What day is it today?
    今天是星期几?
    What is the date today?
    今天是几号?

    day, festival, holiday, leave, vacation

    这五个词都有“假日”的意思。它们的区别在于:holiday来源于宗教的节日、假日,是普通用词,多用于英式英语中,指的是一个人在一年中不干工作的那段时间,也可用来表示一两天的短假期; day表示法定节日,多用于专有名词中; festival指民俗或宗教节日,并含有定期欢度的意味; leave指政府工作人员或军人的假期; vacation用于大学停课放假长达多周的假日或法院停止开庭时间,在美式英语中,凡是较长时间的休假都可用这个词。例如:
    August and September are the months of the year during which most English people take their holidays.一年中8、9两个月是大多数英国人休假的月份。
    We celebrate National Day every year.我们每年都庆祝国庆节。
    Christmas is one of the festivals of the Christian church.圣诞节是基督教的节日之一。
    The soldiers will go home on leave once every two years.士兵们每两年回家休假一次。
    Three vacations occur in the course of the year, viz, two weeks at Christmas, ten days at Easter and the usual two months in summer.一年中有三个假期,即圣诞节两周,复活节十天以及通常的两个月暑假。

    date,day

    这两个名词均有“日”之意。
    date指具体的年、月、日,或指年代、时代。
    day泛指任何一天,或指含有“一昼夜”意义的一天,也可指工作日。可用复数表时代、时期。
