用法說明

How is "Tuesday" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Tuesday"?

Tuesday vs. on Tuesday

  • Tuesday 單獨使用時,通常指「即將到來或剛過去的星期二」,或是在談論重複性、習慣性的事件。
  • on Tuesday 則更明確地指出事件發生的具體日期是「某個星期二」,常用於指定未來或過去的某個特定日期。
  • 在談論每週固定行程時,兩者常可互換,但 on Tuesday 語氣稍強,更強調「在星期二那天」。

對比例句: EN: Let's meet for lunch Tuesday. 翻譯: 我們星期二碰面吃午餐吧。(指即將到來的星期二)

EN:Let's meet for lunch on Tuesday the 15th.

翻譯:我們在15號星期二碰面吃午餐吧。(指定具體日期)

EN:The store is closed Tuesday.

翻譯:這家店星期二不營業。(每週慣例)

EN:The store was closed on Tuesday because of the holiday.

翻譯:那家店因為假日,在那個星期二沒有營業。(指過去某個特定的星期二)

易混淆對比
