during the days,(that followed)he worked as a servant at the browns" 句子该是这样的:during the days that followed he worked as a servant at the Brownsthat在定从中是要做主语
当所指的时间起止分明时用介词during;
如果一段时间不明确则用介词for
具体摘抄如下:
1 表示“在……期间”,是介词,不要将其误用作连词如:
他在巴黎期间,与他的朋友住在一起
误:During he was in Paris, he lived with his friends
正:While he was in Paris, he lived with his friends
正:During his stay in Paris, he lived with his friends
2 during 和 for 均可表示一段时间,但两者有差别
(1) during 通常表示事件发生在何时(when),而for则表示事件持续了多长时间(how long)如:
He was in hospital for six weeks during the summer 他在夏天住了 6 个星期的医院
(2) 两者之后均可接由 the whole 引起的时间短语,但通常不能接由 all 引起的时间短语如:
他整个夏天都住在那儿
正:He stayed there for [during] the whole summer
误:He stayed there for [during] all the summer
(3) 在“数词+时间名词”之前以及在some time, a long time之类表示泛指一段时间的词组之前,可用介词 for,但不用 during如:
He lived here for ten years (for some time) 他在这儿住过 10 年(一段时间)
3 during与in均可表示“时间点”,有时可互换如:
I’ll be on holiday in [during] August 我将在8月度假
He woke up three times in [during] the night 夜里他醒了 3 次
但在使用时还有以下几点要注意:
(1) 比较而言,during 更强调时间的延续,in 只是指一般性的某一时间因此若表示状态或习惯性动作,多用during,否则以用in为常见如:
Many people suffered hardship during the war 许多人在战争期间受苦遭难
He was injured in the war 他在战争期间受了伤
(2) 在stay, visit, meal等表示行为要持续一段时间的名词之前,只能用during 而不能用in如:
The phone rang during the meal 吃饭时电话铃响了
I went to see my aunt during my stay in Beijing 在北京逗留期间,我去看了我的姑妈
(3) 与季节名词连用,in表泛指,during表特指如:
In summer we often camp in the forest 夏天我们常在森林里露营(泛指)
During the summer we camped in the forest 今年夏天我们在森林里露营(特指)
during用来表示一段时间,其意义大致相当于in的用法。一般来说,凡是能用in的地方,也可以用during例如:He came to see me during my absenceDon’t go to see his wife in his absence B)during与in的区别在于during强调时间的延续性,而in则只是一般指某一时间。试比较:They visited many cities during their stay in ChinaHer grandpa was killed in the war
