next短前前加定冠词的基本规律
next day, next week, next year, next month, next term等有时带定冠词,有时不带定冠词。如:
一、当以现在为时间为背景来谈论下周、下月、第二天、明年是,应该使用不带定冠词的next。
Is he coming this weekend or next weekend? 他是在这周末来,还是下周末来。
I shall go there next year. 我将于明年去那里。
By the end of next year, they will have finished work on the new stadium. 到明年年底他们将完成新体育场的工程。
二、当以过去某一时间点或将来某个时间点为背景时,则next常常带定冠词the。如:
He came again the next morning.
He will spend the first week of his holiday in Egypt and the next week in Italy.
但是,请注意,next前不加定冠词the也可以以过去时间为时间背景。例如:
Next morning she was down early. 第二天早晨她下楼很早。
They predicted a crisis next month. 他们语言了下个月的危机。
