over和through的用法又如何呢?它们都用于表达时间的持续性。over经常用于指特定的时间阶段,像周末和节日,如over the weekend,over Easter, over Christmas。其用法有增长的趋势,现在还可出现在一些较长的词组里,如:
We expect a gradual increase in exports over the next few years.
through不仅强调时间的连续性,而且也强调时间的长短,有时还用于说话人希望强调由于某种原因而使时间持续得太长,如:
We sat through the whole film but didn't like it at all.
He slept through the whole sermon.
throughout 比through 的语气更强,如:
Throughout the whole performance there was a great deal of talking and coughing.
