在英语里,表达日期时常涉及字母的大写、单词的缩写和标点符号。现将其要点归纳如下:
一、字母的大写
表示星期、月份的第一个字母要大写。如Sunday,Monday…Saturday,January…December。
二、单词的缩写
有时为了书写简便,在表示星期、月份时要对较长的单词进行缩写。它们是:
(1)星期
Sunday(Sun.),Monday(Mon.),Tuesday(Tues.),Wednesday(Wed.),Thursday(Thur. or Thurs.),Friday (Fri.),Saturday (Sat.)
记忆方法:除“星期二取前四个字母和“星期四取前四个或五个字母外,其余单词均取前三个字母,并在右下方加上小圆点。
(2)月份
January(Jan.) February(Feb.) March(Mar.) April (Apr.) June(Jun.) July(Jul.)
August(Aug.) September(Sep. or Sept.) October(Oct.) November(Nov.) December(Dec.)
记忆方法:除May没有缩写形式外,其余单词均可取前三个字母,右下方加个小圆点表示缩写,September也可取前四个字母加圆点表示。
(3)在英语的日期表达中,表示某日一般使用序数词,其缩写通常为:1st,2nd,3rd,4th,5th…30th
我们将在初二年级学习序数词的相关用法。
记忆方法:1号,2号,3号,21号,22号,23号的缩写均为“日期数+st、nd、rd(first,second,third的后两个字母) ,其余的日子缩写均为“数字+th;也可直接用数字来表达某日。如March 14,1995或March 14th,1995。
三、标点符号
在月、日和年之间或星期和月、日和年之间要加逗号。如:Feb. 5,2004或Thursday,February 5,2004。
