词语用法

n. (名词)

1. night意为“夜晚”,所指的时间一般从下午6点到第二天上午6点,也可指从日落到日出这段时间,还可指从夜间睡下到次日起床这段时间。night是抽象名词,故其前通常不加the,但特指时则要加the。
2. 在美式英语中其复数nights可用作状语,意思是“每夜”。
3. night引申可指“黑暗时期,令人悲伤痛苦的经历”。

词义辨析

n. (名词)

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。
• I went to see a film on the night of March 5.3月5日夜里我去看电影了。
• The army attacked at night when the enemy was asleep.在夜间敌人熟睡时军队发起了攻击。
• The thief stole money by night.小偷利用夜晚作案。

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!”

下面两句话的意思相同：

• I work nights and I am free in the after- noon.
• I work at night and I am free in the after- noon.
• 我晚上干活,下午没事。
• 在美式英语中, nights与at night同义,且有强调意味。

常见错误

n. (名词)

1. 昨晚我十点钟睡觉。

   误 I went to bed at ten yesterday night.

   正 I went to bed at ten last night.

   析 “昨晚”在英语习惯上说last night。表示“昨天早上,昨天下午”,则说yesterday morning, yesterday afternoon。“昨天傍晚”可说yesterday evening也可说last evening。

2. 天色在转黑,夜晚即将来临。

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

   正 It was getting dark and it would be soon night.

3. 夜里风刮得更大了。

   误 The wind blew harder at the night.

   正 The wind blew harder at night.

4. 他常常在夜里写小说。

   误 He often writes his novels at the night.

   正 He often writes his novels at night.

   析 at night表示“在夜里”, night前不带定冠词。

5. 他星期天晚上来的。

   误 He came in Sunday night.

   正 He came on Sunday 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。

词源解说

• ☆ 直接源自古英语的niht，意为夜晚。
