请教一句话
he pulled a quarter out of my ear这句话,翻译成:他从我的耳后变出一个铜板。
是说变魔术,quarter有铜板的意思吗? 本帖最后由 learnEnglish 于 2009-8-15 00:45 编辑
It seems, in this sentence,
"a quarter" means "A quarter of one dollor = 25 cents = some coins"
{:5_389:} a quarter 应该是特指的一种面值的硬币吧, 本帖最后由 learnEnglish 于 2009-8-15 00:58 编辑
I just saw this example:
Here’s a quarter. Call someone who cares.
你拿着这个硬币,打电话找别人诉说去吧。
{:5_389:} 是不是美国的投币电话是要塞25美分的硬币的啊,所以才这么说的?就像德国的要塞50cent还多少的,不记得了 a quarter AKA a coin of 25cent~ It seems, in this sentence,
"a quarter" means "A quarter of one dollor = 25 cents = some coins"
{:5_389:}

奇怪的是,25分钱比10分钱直径要小一圈 美国人对四分之一这个概念真是挚爱啊。。
在各种计量单位里都会用到。。
three quarters of an hour
the second quarter of the year
a quarter of a million 听起来就觉得比25万多,很有气势。。
academic quarter: a term
a French quarter: district
a quarter :四分之一英担,一英担大概50公斤的样子
