every two與every second的區別
1. every two…的意思是“每兩個……”,後接複數名詞。如:
He gets home leave every two years. 他每兩年有一次探親假。
You must take your medicine every two hours. 你得每兩小時服葯一次。
I have violin lessons every two weeks. 我每兩個星期上一次小提琴課。
They are all expected to send in a written report every two months. 他們每兩個月都得交一份書麪報告。
2. every second…的意思是“每第二個……”,後接單數名詞。如:
The nurse comes every second day. 護士每隔一天來一次。
We meet every second Tuesday. 我們隔周星期二見麪一次。
從以上例句可以看出,every two和every second意思大致相同。另外,我們還可以說every other…,意思也差不多。如:
Write on every other line. 請隔行寫。
We meet every other Tuesday. 我們隔周星期二見麪一次。
I work every other day:Monday, Wednesday and Friday. 我隔天上班:每周一,三,五。
