    示範例句 · Example

    Our English test is on Wednesday, so Mei is reviewing her notes tonight.

    逐字我們的英文考試在星期三，所以美今晚正在複習她的筆記。

    英文的星期名稱都是專有名詞，第一個字母一定大寫：Wednesday，不寫成 wednesday。講「在星期三」時，英式英文用 on Wednesday，on 不省略；美式口語常常直接說 We can go Wednesday。要指一天裡的時段，就把時段黏在後面：Wednesday morning／Wednesday evening，中間不加 in the。拼字裡的 Wednes- 可以想成從古代的神名 Woden 長出來的，中間那個不發音的 d 就是留在拼字裡的痕跡——所以唸起來只有兩個音節：WENZ-day。

The middle of the working week: Monday and Tuesday are behind you, Thursday and Friday still ahead. Point at a week as a row of seven boxes and Wednesday is the one in the middle of the working stretch — which is why English speakers call it 'hump day', the top of the hill you climb over before the weekend comes into view.

可以想成一週攤開來的那排格子裡，卡在正中間的那一格：星期一、星期二已經過去，星期四、星期五還在前面。它沒有比喻，就是一個位置——排在 Tuesday 後面、Thursday 前面。因為卡在上班上學那五天的中央，英語裡常戲稱它 hump day，像爬到小山丘的頂點，翻過去週末就開始在望了。拼法要注意：中間那個 d 不發音，唸起來接近 WENZ-day。
