another day用作名词与用作副词

问题描述

The dentist suggested that she (should) come another day. 牙医建议她改天再来。

You can’t go there today. You can go another day. 你今天不能去那儿，你可以改日再去。

Tell them I am not very well. I will go and see them another day. 告诉他们我不大舒服。过几天我会去看他们的。

这样用的 another day 是作状语吧？用作状语就说明它是副词，或起副词作用。请问 another day 可以起名词作用吗？比如用作主语或宾语等。若可以，请举出具体的例子，谢谢！

老师答疑

陈老师：

another day 完全可以起名词作用。比如：

Sometimes I feel I just can’t face another day. 有时候我觉得无法面对又一天的生活。

He groaned inwardly at the thought of spending another day in that place. 一想到要在那里再待上一天，他就暗暗叫苦。

The survivors on the rock signalled that they were short of water but could hold out for another day.  岩石上的幸存者发信号说他们缺水了，但还能坚持一天。

Well, that’s that. Another day’s work finished. Let’s go home. 好了，就那样定了。又完成了一天的工作。咱们回家吧。
