quarter和season有什么区别?
I heard they're going to lay off some people this quarter
quarter和season有什么区别?
Quarter强调的是时间上的分割,3个月为1个quarter,它本义就有1/4的意思.
Season强调的是节气,1个season包括3个月.
从时间上来说,这2个词都能表示3个月,但语境稍有不同.
对比:
I heard they're going to lay off some people this quarter.
本季度会有人被解雇.- 无所谓是哪个季节,强调的是时间的跨度.
In the first week the moon is in its first quarter,in the third week it is in its last quarter.
第一个星期月亮处于上弦月的状态,第三个星期月亮处于下弦月的状态.- 这里用的是1/4的意思
I heard the watermelon is turning marture this season.
西瓜在这个季节成熟.- 强调它的季节性,本季节.
I heard the watermelon is turning marture this quarter.
西瓜在这个季度成熟.- 强调它的时间性,本季度.
