　　詞義辨析

　　during, over, throughout這幾個(gè)介詞均可表示“在…期間,在…時(shí)期以內(nèi)”。區(qū)別在于：

　　1、during既可以表示句中動(dòng)詞所表示動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)持續(xù)的時(shí)間段,也可以表示動(dòng)作發(fā)生在一段時(shí)間中的某時(shí)間點(diǎn)上,但它不強(qiáng)調(diào)動(dòng)作何時(shí)發(fā)生或何時(shí)結(jié)束。

　　例句：There happened many events during his term of presidential service.

　　在他的總統(tǒng)任期內(nèi),曾發(fā)生過許多事情。

　　2、over則往往強(qiáng)調(diào)經(jīng)過一段時(shí)間后所產(chǎn)生的結(jié)果。

　　例句：By the time we arrived the meeting was over.

　　我們到達(dá)時(shí)，會(huì)議已結(jié)束了。

　　3、throughout更注重時(shí)間進(jìn)展的始末。

　　例句：Throughout history empires have waxed and waned.

　　歷史上各個(gè)帝國革故鼎新均有興衰。
