 ♣ at night, by night, in the night, on the night
　这四个短语的共同意思是“在夜里”。其区别是：at night泛指夜晚；in the night表示“当天夜里”，与in the day time相对；on the night特指某天夜里，尤指上半夜，与in the morning相对；by night常含“利用夜晚”的意思，与by day相对。例如：
　The baby woke up twice in the night.　这婴儿在夜里醒了两次。

 ♣ night, evening
　这两个词的共同意思是“晚上”。其区别是：night指从睡觉起到第二天一早这段时间；evening指从黄昏到睡觉前这段时间。
 ♣ Good night, Good evening
　这两个短语的区别是：
1. Good night是晚上分别时的用语（无论时间有多早），意思是“晚安”; Good evening是晚上见面时的用语（无论时间有多晚），意思是“晚上好”。
2. Good night有时用作感叹语，表示惊讶。例如：
　The man's eyes opened wide when he saw the big fish his little boy had caught, and said, "Good night!"　这个人看到他的小儿子捉到一条大鱼时，眼睛睁得老大地说：“好家伙！”

　［正］ I went to bed at ten last night.

　［误］ It was getting dark and it would be soon the night.
　［正］ It was getting dark and it would be soon night.

　［析］ night与表示星期的名词(Monday等）或特定的日子连用时，其前用介词on.
