下面一起来看一下歌词中的英文吧
歌词:
I will be waiting at quarter to five
相遇时间五点,十五分钟前我会出现
Under the Rue de Rousseau
就在卢梭街旁边
讲解:
· quarter用作动词意思是“把…四等分”;用作名词的基本意思是“四分之一,四等分”,所以用在时间上就是“一刻钟,十五分钟”,歌词中的quarter to five从字面上来讲就是还有一刻钟到五点,那就是五点差一刻、四点四十五。
· Quarter还可表示“使(士兵)驻扎”“使(短期)住宿”。
· quarter in (使)住宿在…
The troops were quartered in the city.
军队驻扎在城里。
· quarter on〔upon〕(使)住宿在…; 与…住在一起
