quarter怎么用

做作业花了我一刻钟：

It takes me a quarter to do my homework.

a quarter 可以这样用吗？

a quater的本义是“四分之一”，能表达的意义有很多。若指时长“一刻钟（15分钟）”应在其后加of an hour。例如：

He was waiting for a quarter of an hour. 他等了一刻钟了。《现代英汉词典》

I'll meet you in a quarter of an hour. 我一刻钟之后和你会面。《朗文当代英语词典》

I've got to go in a quarter of an hour. 一刻钟以后我就得走了。《柯林斯高阶英汉双解词典》

I waited a quarter of an hour and then went home. 我等了一刻钟，然后回家了。《剑桥高级英语词典》

做作业花了我一刻钟：

It takes me a quarter to do my homework.（错误）

It took me fifteen minutes to finish my homework（正确）

I spent fifteen minutes on my homework（正确）

I spent fifteen minutes in finishing my homework（正确）

My homework took me fifteen minutes.（正确）

备注：以上fifteen minutes可以a quarter用替换

quarter n.一刻钟（相当于fifteen minutes)

It was a quarter to six.
当时是5:45。

8:15英文表达

(1)quarter after eight

(2)quarter past eight
