Cultural Notes 文化注釋
大多數(shù)美國(guó)人說(shuō)時(shí)間都是先說(shuō)幾點(diǎn)，然后說(shuō)幾分。例如：7點(diǎn)25分，英語(yǔ)是 seven twenty-five (7：25)。要把時(shí)間說(shuō)得更清楚些，還要加上 a.m. (或 AM 或 A.M.)或 p.m.(或 PM 或P.M.)。a.m.(上午)是拉丁文 anti meridiem 的縮寫(xiě)，p.m. 是 post meridiem 的縮寫(xiě)。
美國(guó)人說(shuō)日期通常先說(shuō)月，后說(shuō)日，后說(shuō)年。日期前的定冠詞經(jīng)常省略。例如：1992年5月20日的英語(yǔ)是 May 20th, 1992。
