相似詞語辨析【58】during和for
during,for
介詞for引導時間狀語時,很易和during混淆不清。它們的區(qū)別如下:
(一)during用在已知的時期、節(jié)日或表示時間觀念的名詞之前,其后通常接the、this、that、these、those、my、your、his等詞。例:
during the last four days(the spring of 1995)
during the winter(war,economic crisis of 1929)
during that time(the course of the play)
during my holidays(summer vacation)
during her absence(interview)
during our stay in Japan(their visit here)
而for則用以表示有限的或無限的時間概念,通常其后接冠詞、數(shù)詞,復數(shù)名詞或副詞ever.例如:
for the first time(a time,a while)
for a couple of weeks(days)
for two months(weeks)
for many years(generations)
for years(months)
for ever(ages)
(二)during的涵義是當之際,它既可指某個動作在某個時期里連續(xù)不斷地進行,也可以指某個動作在這段時期里的某個時間發(fā)生。如:
He was sick for a week and during that week he was placed in an infirmary.
他病了一個星期,在這個星期里,他住在護養(yǎng)院。
It snowed all day but stopped snowing during that night.
下了一整天雪,到晚上才停了。
而for的涵義是指某個動作在某個時期里處于連續(xù)不斷的狀態(tài)。如:
They worked for the whole day.
他們干了一整天。
在某些場合下,for含有預先安排或為了某一目的之涵義。表示此意味時,大都和come、go、stay、lend、rent、hire等詞連用。例:

我到歐洲度假去了。
They will stay with us for the New Year.
