词组 afternoon
释义 afternoon
afternoonn. [ɑːftǝ′nuːn] (afternoons)
双解释义
1. U C 下午  the time between morning and evening; the time between midday and sunset
2. S 后半期,后半  later stage, later period
基本要点
1. afternoon指正午以后至日落之前这段时间,译为“下午”,复数形式afternoons指不断重复的下午,起强调作用。书面语中可引申表示“后半期,后半”。
2. 一般说“在下午”用介词in,但当afternoon前有修饰成分如“某日的下午”或“星期×的下午”时用on,但当其前又有时间状语时, on也可换为in. afternoon与this, that, yesterday, tomorrow, every, all等限定词连用时相当于副词短语,其前不使用介词。afternoon用作状语时,其前也不使用介词。
3. afternoon也可置于另一名词之前作定语。

常用短语
 ♣ the afternoon of life
 后半生,晚年 the old age; one's later life

词语辨异
 ♣ afternoon, after noon
 after 与noon这两个词连写和分写在含义上是有区别的:连写时指“下午”,即morning和evening之间这段时间;而分写时指“正午以后”,着眼于时间的起点,即12点以后。试比较下面两句:
What are you going to do this afternoon?
今天下午你们干什么?
What are you going to do after noon?
过了中午你们干什么?

 ♣ in the afternoon, on the afternoon
 这两个短语都表示“在下午”。其区别是:on the afternoon指的是某天的下午或具体的一个下午;in the afternoon指不断重复的下午,使下午具体化了,起强调作用。例如:
I was at home on the afternoon of last
Monday.
上个星期一的下午我在家。
Mostly I slept in the mornings and in the afternoons sometimes.
在多数情况下,我都是每天上午睡觉,有时也下午睡觉。

 ♣ in an afternoon, in the afternoon
 这两个短语意思不同, in an afternoon指一个下午,而in the afternoon指今天下午。例如:
It can be done in an afternoon.
此事一个下午就可完成。
It can be done in the afternoon.
此事今天下午就可完成。

正误解析
1. 一天下午发生了火灾。
 [误] A fire broke out one day afternoon.
 [正] A fire broke out one afternoon.
 [正] One day, in the afternoon, a fire broke out.
 [析] 汉语里可说“一天下午”,但英语里却不可说one day afternoon,要说one afternoon或one day in the afternoon. 后一句中的in the afternoon是对one day的补充。
2. 今天下午请过来看我一下。
 [误] Please come over and see me today afternoon.
 [正] Please come over and see me this afternoon.
 [析] afternoon前不可用today修饰。表示“今天下午”,一般不可说today afternoon,应说this afternoon.
学习参考
 Good afternoon! 除可用在下午见面时表示“您好!”“下午好!”外,也可用在下午分手时表示“再见!”,只是此时Good要重读。
