第十九单元 【语法点拨】
常用的表示时间的介词
▶ 常用介词的意义
介词含义微妙，用法复杂，可以表示时间、地点、条件、原因、方式、工具、
速率、让步、对比、材料、来源、对象、程度、目的、结果、排除，等等。只
有在实际应用中勤查字典，反复比较，才能够掌握它们的各种各样的含义和用
法。
▶ 常用介词的主要用法
▪ 表示时间的介词
(1)in表示时间的用法:
①表示较长时间，如世纪、朝代、时代、年、节、月及一般(非特指)的早、
中、晚等。
in the 20th century, in the 1950s, in 1989, in summer, in January, in the
morning/afternoon/evening/night, in one’s life, in one’ thirties.
②用来表示将来的时间。in后面接一段时间时，既可作“在……以后”解，又可
作“在……以内”解。若谓语动词表示瞬间性的行为时，in作“在……以后”解;若
谓语动词表示继续性的行为时，in作“在……以内”解。
• I will come and see you again in a week.我一周后再来看你。
(will come and see you again 表示瞬时性的行为，故译为“一周后”)
• I will come and see you several times in a week.我一周内将来看你几
次。
(several times表示多次发生的行为，故译为“一周内”)
• She will graduate in three years.
她三年后毕业。(will graduate是瞬时行为)
• She will learn another foreign language in three years.
她三年内将再学一门外语。(will learn another foreign language是继
续行为)
◆ 要表示“在……之内”要用介词 within，避免产生歧义。
• She will get married in a year.她一年后结婚。(get married是瞬时行为)
• She will get married within a year.
她将在一年内结婚。( within a year表示一年内)
(2)on表示具体某一天及其早、中、晚。
on May 1st, on Monday, on New Year’s Day, on a cold night in January, on a fine
morning, on Sunday afternoon等。
注：如果某日某月在上(下)午之前有late, early等修饰语，介词仍用in。
• in the late afternoon of 1st October 十月一日下午晚些时候
(3)at表示某一时刻或较短暂的时间，或泛指圣诞节、复活节、年龄等。
at3:20, at this time of the year, at the beginning of…, at the end of…, at the age of…,
at Christmas, at Easter, at Spring Festival, at dawn, at dusk, at evening, at night, at
noon, at this moment等。
注：在last, next, this, that, some, every等词之前一律不用介词。
• We meet every day.我们每天相见。
(4)in, after表示“在……之后”的区别:
“in+一段时间”表示将来一段时间以后；“after+一段时间”表示过去一段时间以
后；“after+将来某点时间”表示将来某一时刻以后。
• The bus will be here in ten minutes.公共汽车10分钟后来这里。
• She arrived after a week.她在一星期后到达。
• He will arrive after five o’clock.他在五点以后到达。
(5)from, since表示“自从……”的区别:
from仅表示什么时候开始,不表示某动作或情况持续多久; since表示某动作或情
况持续至说话时刻，通常与完成时连用。
• We work from Monday to /till/until/through Friday.
我们从星期一工作到星期五。
• We are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day.
我们每天从早上7点到晚上8点营业。
• I haven’t heard from him since last year.
我自去年以来未曾收到过他的信。
(6)after, behind表示“在……之后”的区别:
after主要用于时间或次序，用于过去时表示过去一段时间或事情之后，用于将
来时表示某时刻之后; behind主要用于表示位置，表示时间时，用于某些固定搭
配中。
• After two days our food gave out.两天后我们的食物吃完了。
• After supper we went to see the film.晚饭后我们去看了那场电影。
• She’ll finish her homework after two o’clock.她将在两点钟之后完成作
业。

(7)over, through, throughout均指“经过的全部时间”。
• She stayed over the holidays.她一直呆到假期结束。
• We stayed up through the night.我们熬了一整夜。
• It rained throughout the night.雨下了一整夜。
(8)for, since的区别
for表示动作或状态延续的全部时间长度，表示“长达……”之意; since用于指从

行时。
• I have been there for six years.我在那里已经待了6年了。

他们在战争期间饱受食物短缺之苦。
• He fell asleep during the lesson.他在上课时睡着了。
② at some time in在……某个时候。
• She was born during the snowstorm.她在暴风雪中出生了。
注：in和 during都表示一段时间，凡是能用in的地方，一般均可用 during，在这
种用法上，during接近于in的意义。
• She called on me during my absence.我不在的时候她来拜访我。
• You shouldn’t call on his wife in his absence.
他不在的时候你不应去拜访他的妻子。
但是, during更强调时间的延续，而in则只是一般地指某一时间。因此，若谓语
动词表示一种状态或习惯性动作，通常用 during，否则用in；此外，在与 visit,
stay, meal等表示事态延续一定时间的名词搭配时，只能用during，而不能用in。
• She was ill for a week, and during that week she ate little.
她病了一个星期，在那一周她吃得很少。
(10) beyond表示“迟于;在……之后”之意。
• beyond nine o’clock过了九点
• Some shops keep open beyond midnight.有些商店营业到半夜以后。
(11) through的用法:
① from the beginning to the end of 从头到尾，自始至终
• On the eve of Christmas, young people usually stay up through the night.
圣诞节之夜，年轻人通常通宵不睡。
• I could not dance, but I sat through the party.
我不会跳舞，但我耐着性子待到最后。
② up to and including 达到并包括
• They are going to stay on the mountains from Monday through Friday.
他们打算在山上从星期一呆到星期五。
注：此句中的 through是美国英语，英国英语一般用to或up to。它所指的时间包
括其宾语所表示的时间在内，即包括星期五在内。
