n. (名词)

afternoon指正午以后至日落之前这段时间,译为“下午”,复数形式afternoons指不断重复的下午,起强调作用。书面语中可引申表示“后半期,后半”。
一般说“在下午”用介词in,但当afternoon前有修饰成分如“某日的下午”或“星期×的下午”时用on,但当其前又有时间状语时, on也可换为in。afternoon与this, that, yesterday, tomorrow, every, all等限定词连用时相当于副词短语,其前不使用介词。afternoon用作状语时，其前也不使用介词。
afternoon也可置于另一名词之前作定语。

afternoon 由after和noon两个词组成，常以in the afternoon形式出现，指“在下午”，也可说during the afternoon；
有时，afternoon前不可加in或on，如this afternoon (今天下午)，yesterday afternoon (昨天下午)等表达方式；
after noon较少用做状语短语，但shortly after noon (午后不久)，immediately after noon (午后立即）是用比较广泛。
We left after noon today.
复数形式afternoons可用作副词，指“在每天下午”。
She helps me with English grammar afternoons.
每天下午，她都帮我学习英语语法。
从时间意义上来说，人们通常把午饭后到下班前这段时间作为“afternoon”，而正常时间下班后开始作为“evening”，而“evening”和“night”之间的转换往往取决于人们上床睡觉的时间。

n. (名词)

afternoon, after noon: after与noon这两个词连写和分写在含义上是有区别的:连写时指“下午”,即morning和evening之间这段时间; 而分写时指“正午以后”,着眼于时间的起点,即12点以后。试比较下面两句：

What are you going to do this afternoon?

今天下午你们干什么?

What are you going to do after noon?

过了中午你们干什么?

in the afternoon, on the afternoon: 这两个短语都表示“在下午”。其区别是：

on the afternoon指的是某天的下午或具体的一个下午; in the afternoon指不断重复的下午,使下午具体化了,起强调作用。例如:

I was at home on the afternoon of last Monday.

上个星期一的下午我在家。

Mostly I slept in the mornings, and in the afternoons, sometimes.

在多数情况下,我都是每天上午睡觉, 有时也下午睡觉。

in an afternoon, in the afternoon: 这两个短语意思不同, in an afternoon指一个下午,而in the afternoon指今天下午。例如:

It can be done in an afternoon.

此事一个下午就可完成。

It can be done in the afternoon.

此事今天下午就可完成。

常见错误

n. (名词)

误 A fire broke out one day afternoon.

正 A fire broke out one afternoon.

正 One day, in the afternoon, a fire broke out.

析汉语里可说“一天下午”,但英语里却不可说one day afternoon,要说one afternoon或one day in the afternoon。后一句中的in the afternoon是对one day的补充。

误 Please come over and see me today afternoon.

正 Please come over and see me this afternoon.

析 afternoon前不可用today修饰。表示“今天下午”,一般不可说today afternoon,应说this afternoon。

用作名词 (n.)

the afternoon of life

用作名词 (n.)
