every two与every second的区别
1. every two…的意思是“每两个……”,后接复数名词。如:
He gets home leave every two years. 他每两年有一次探亲假。
You must take your medicine every two hours. 你得每两小时服药一次。
I have violin lessons every two weeks. 我每两个星期上一次小提琴课。
They are all expected to send in a written report every two months. 他们每两个月都得交一份书面报告。
2. every second…的意思是“每第二个……”,后接单数名词。如:
The nurse comes every second day. 护士每隔一天来一次。
We meet every second Tuesday. 我们隔周星期二见面一次。
从以上例句可以看出,every two和every second意思大致相同。另外,我们还可以说every other…,意思也差不多。如:
Write on every other line. 请隔行写。
We meet every other Tuesday. 我们隔周星期二见面一次。
I work every other day:Monday, Wednesday and Friday. 我隔天上班:每周一,三,五。
