某本书说:
He fell asleep over a book.
=He fell asleep when he was reding a book.
类似这种 over 的例子有哪些?
刘老师:
▲介词over 后面跟“一段时间”或者“一个事件”,可以表示“在......期间”,“在......之时”,说明谓语动词在这个时间发生,作时间状语。
If something happens over a particular period of time or over something such as a meal, it happens during that time or during the meal.
1. Over breakfast we discussed plans for the day. 我们一边吃早饭一边讨论这一天的计划。
2. We have something interesting to talk about over the meal. 我们有很多感兴趣的事可以边吃边谈。
3. Would you like to talk about it over a drink? 你愿意一边喝饮料一边谈事情吗?
4. Many strikes over the last few years have not ended successfully. 过去几年中有多次罢工都未获成功。
▲此外,不太明白你说的意思。是说over 还有其他什么用法,还是哪些介词具有此类用法?用来表示时间的介词,常用的有:
in 在……之内(期间或之后)
at 在……之时(时间点)
on 在……某天(包括在某天的上午、下午、晚上)
within 在......之内
during 在……期间
before 在……之前
after 在……之后
since 自从……以来
until 直到…...为止
till 直到.......为止
up to 直到.......为止
by 到……为止
for 长达(时间段)
