to the day怎么理解

Fifty-seven years to the day after Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech

in front of the Lincoln Memorial.

这个是说马丁路德金发表演讲后的57年后吗，那么这个 57 years to the day来修饰after， to the day为什么不是from the day?

to the day意为精确到天，即整整57年前，57年前的这一天。如果你明白这个意思，就不会企图用from去替换to了。

to the day: Of a date range, precisely, up to and including the day in question.

It's been a year to the day since I left my husband, and I haven't looked back once.

They said they would be back in two years to the day to collect repayment for the loan.

到现在57年了，the day 表示现在

在发表演讲后，到现在57年了

3天后，不也是3 days after sth
