在中文中,'date' 的意思取决于上下文:日期(calendar date)、约会(romantic meeting)、枣子(fruit)。注意区分不同场景下的用法。
在英语中,日期通常按月/日/年或日/月/年格式书写(e.g., March 15, 2023 或 15 March 2023)。在正式文件中,月份通常不缩写。
From Middle English 'date', from Old French 'date', from Latin 'dactylus', from Greek 'dáktulos' (finger), referring to the date fruit's resemblance to a finger. The sense of 'appointment' derives from the idea of marking a specific time on a calendar.
In English, 'date' can refer to a calendar date, a social appointment, or a fruit. Context determines the meaning. When referring to a romantic meeting, it is often used in the phrase 'go on a date'.
