    示範例句 · Example

    We usually take a short break in mid-morning, around ten o'clock.

    逐字我們通常在早上中段休息一下,大約十點。

    「mid」指「某段時間、某個範圍的正中間」,最常黏在別的字前面用,像 mid-morning(早上一半的時候)、mid-July(七月中)、in his mid-thirties(三十五歲上下)。可以想成把一段時間或一排數字對折,mid 就是那個折線。當作獨立介係詞(mid the trees)很文言、很少見,平常我們幾乎只用 mid- 這種合成寫法。
