during后面的名词可以是泛指的吗

问题描述

during 后面的名通常是带有定冠词的，或者说是特指的，比如：
The phone rang during the meal. 吃饭时电话铃响了。
They lived abroad during the war. 战争期间他们一直住在国外。
She was punished for copying during the examination. 她因考试作弊而受到处罚。
请问，during 后面的也可以泛指的吗？

老师答疑

陈老师：

▲根据语义的需要，during 后面的名词可以是特指的，也可以是泛指的。如以下各句中 during 后面的名词用的是表泛指意义的不定冠词：

Innocent children are often harmed during a war. 战争期间无辜的孩子们经常受到伤害。

During an emergency, it’s important to keep your head. 紧急情况下保持镇定很重要。

He died ofa heart attack during a routine operation. 他在一次普通手术中死于心脏病。

In no case should you open a door that feels hot during a fire. 着火时，感觉门热就决不能打开。

We have a stock of candles in casethe lights go out during a storm. 我们储存蜡烛以备因暴风雨停电时应急。

▲又如以下句子中 during 后面的名词用的是零冠词，也非特指：

Electrical output sometimes doesn’t meet demand during hot weather. 天气炎热时电力输出有时不能满足需求。

My teacher likes our questions and interjections during class. 我们老师喜欢我们在课堂上提问、插话。

谢谢陈老师！
