喜樂美語
  1. 1nB2/ˈdeɪtaɪm/白天；日間

    the time of day when it is light, between when the sun comes up and when it gets dark.

    示範例句 · Example

    I can't sleep in the daytime — the room is too bright.

    逐字我不能在白天睡覺——那個房間太亮了。

    「daytime」指天亮到天黑之間的那段時間，常跟 night 對比。固定說法是 in/during the daytime。它也可以當修飾語，像 daytime phone number（白天能接到的電話）。核心畫面可以想成「太陽還在天上的時間」——day 有時指「一天」，daytime 比較清楚指白天這段。

core核心畫面

Cut one turn of the earth in two by light: the lit half and the dark half. Daytime is the lit half — from the moment the sun comes up to the moment it gets dark, the stretch of hours when you can see without turning anything on. English has 'day' doing two jobs (a whole 24 hours, and the light part), so this word exists to pin down the light part only, usually in contrast with .

把地球轉一圈的時間用「光」切成兩半：亮的那半和暗的那半。daytime 就是亮的那半——從太陽升起到天色轉暗，這段不必開燈也看得見的時間。英文的 day 身兼兩職（有時指整整二十四小時，有時只指白天那段），所以才需要 daytime 這個字把「亮的那段」單獨釘住，而且它通常是跟 nighttime 對著用的。
