| 释义 | 1． 新闻媒体每年要评出 man / men of the year，woman / women of the year，这是指“当年的杰出人物或风云人物”，year 前要加定冠词。 类似的说法很多，第一个字母常大写，称呼前面的冠词可以省去: Time Person of the Year 2004 “World News Tonight's” People of the Year the Ugliest Man of the Year People Magazine's “Most Hand- some Man of the Year” the Laziest Man of the Year Pretty Woman of the Year Black Engineer of the Year CEO of the Year 2． 注意 year 也可以用来修饰“当年令人注目的事物”: Merriam-Webster's Words of the Year the worst day of the year the Worst Products of the Year National Geographic's “Photo of the Year” Car of the Year 2005 the 25 Best Products of the Year the Worst Products of the Year Hardware of the Year Science News of the Year the Breakthrough of the Year Technologies of the Year 3． 用 year 表示 “岁数”时，可以说: He is a thirty-year-old professor. ( year 用单数) This professor is 30 years old. ( 用复数 years) The professor is 30 years of age. ( 比较正式) He is a professor of 30 years of age. ( 比较正式) 4． 说某人“长相比年纪大或小”，常用 years，前面用介词 for: She looks young for her years. He looks old for his years. 4． She died in her fiftieth year. 按西方习惯应译成 “她 49 岁去世。”可以此类推。 5． “他是一年级学生”在英国可以说 “He is a first year ( student )”， student 可以省去; 可以此类推说: He is a second year / a third year.
