「all time」「all the time」「all day」用法很不同！

🌺 我們常常看到「all time」、「all the time」、「all day」，不過是不是覺得好像似懂非懂，不到精通的程度呢？今天我們就來好好解析！注意：日常用法中，都不要加 “for”。

❌ for all day

❌ for all night

❌ for all time

❌ for all the time

all time

意近：空前絕後的、前所未有的

» This is my favorite movie of all time.

» I think these are 5 greatest TV shows of all time. (名詞+of all time)

» Star Wars is my boyfriend’s all-time favorite film. (“all-time” 是形容詞)

» After I broke up with Brady I’ve been on an all time low. (前所未有的低潮)

all the time

意思等於：總是、老是 ( = always )

» The best time to wear lip balm…is all the time!

» It’s not really healthy to be in this state all the time.

» The thing that I wanna hear all the time is good news.

» I wish you’d stop being polite with me all the time.

補充：「for all time」是「總是」的另一種說法，更適合文學用。» They have to secure the island in its entirety for Buddhism and civilization for all time.

all day ( = the whole day )

意思等於：一整天

▶ 注意：幾乎不會用到 “all the day”，這是錯誤的用法。若真的想要造出句子：All the day brought me was disappointment. = All it brought me was disappointment. 在這個例子當中，”all”並不是跟”the day”同掛的，它們要拆開看喔。

👂速記：除了「all the time」之外，以下其他例子不加 “the” ：

all day» Mom spent all day (long) / the whole day (long) cleaning our house.

all night » I haven’t been to an all-night party since my college days. (通宵的)大學時期後，我就再沒有參加通宵派對。

» The exam’s just one day away, and that means cramming all night (long).

all morning» Where have you been all morning (long)?

all month » I worked all month (long) on this manuscript that I thought was done.

all year» Even if they work full time all year (round), they will still be poor.
