1、所有的时间都可以用“小时+分钟”直接读:
6:10 six ten
8:30 eight thirty
2:50 two fifty
2、如果所表述时间在半小时之内,可以用“分钟+past+小时”:
6:10 ten past six
4:20 twenty past four
10:25 twenty-five past ten
3、如果表述的时间在半小时之外,可以用“(相差的)分钟+to+(下一)小时”:
10:35 twenty-five to eleven
5:50 ten to six
9:49 eleven to ten
4、如果所表述的时间恰好是半小时,可以用“half+past+小时”:
11:30 half past eleven
2:30 half past two
5、如果所表述的分钟是15的整数倍,就有三种表达法:
15分钟又叫一刻钟:a quarter
9:15 nine fifteen ; fifteen past nine ; a quarter past nine
3:45 three forty-five ; fifteen to four ; a quarter to four
6、整点
现在是两点整。
It's two.
It's two o'clock.
It's two o'clock sharp.
It's two o'clock on the dot.
It's two o'clock on the nose.
It's two exactly two o'clock.
另外英语中的noon 和 midnight 可分别直接表示白天和夜晚的12点:
It's (twelve) noon. 现在是中午12点
It's (twelve) midnight. 现在是半夜零点
7、大约时间 :
It's almost two. 马上到两点了。
It's not quite two. 还不到两点。
It's just after two. 刚过两点。
若想表明是上午,可在时间后面加上 a.m. 。
若想表明是下午,可在时间后面加上 p.m. 。
