在网友前面一个问题中有 a Grade 10 student(出自高中英语新教材的人教版必修一p8),指“10年级学生”:
https://www.cpsenglish.com/question/52067
My name is Ann Wells and I’m a Grade 10 student at Lakeside High School. I’m an active person and I love sports. I’m curious about everything. I often ask questions, but I learn best by doing. My favourite subject is physics. Dancing and skating are my hobbies, and I also like to read short stories. I plan to become an engineer in the future.
我想这里是不是少了连字符?感觉应该是 a Grade 10-student 吧!
这位网友很细心!这里确实是省略了连字符。即:
I’m a Grade 10 student at Lakeside High School.
= I’m a Grade-10 student at Lakeside High School.
注意这里的连字符是被省略了,而不是被错误地漏掉了。也就是说,这里的连字符用不用都可以。使用连字符的用法大家可能比较熟悉。如:
The station is only a five-minute walk away. 到车站只有五分钟步行的距离。
From our apartment it’s a fifteen-minute walk to the centre of town.我们住的公寓到市中心步行15分钟。
She runs in the 200- and 400-meter races, but she’s faster in the former. 她参加了200米和400米赛跑,但在前一项中跑得更快。
而省略连字符的用法大家可能比较生疏,下面引用几个词典上的例句:
Who holds the 100 metre sprint record? 谁是 100 米短跑纪录的保持者?(《牛津英语搭配词典》)
The station is only a five minute walk away. 车站离这里只有五分钟的步程。(《剑桥高级英语词典》)
