很多人都知道“am”代表上午
“pm”代表下午
可是中午或者午夜12点是“am”还是“pm”呢?
脑子是不是突然卡壳了?
和小编一起搞清楚如何表达吧
首先我们认识一下12小时制
The 12-hour system divides the 24 hours of a day into two periods lasting 12 hours each. The first 12-hour period is designated as am. It runs from midnight to noon. The second period, marked pm, covers the 12 hours from noon to midnight.
12小时制将一天中的24小时分为两个时段,每个时段都有12小时。第一个12小时时段指定为am(上午):从午夜开始到中午。第二个时段标为pm(下午),从中午到午夜。
The abbreviations am and pm derive from Latin:
am和pm是从拉丁语缩写来的
AM = Ante meridiem : Before noon
意思是在中午前
PM = Post meridiem : After noon
意思是在中午后
meridiem/m’ridi:m/ n.正午
Ante meridiem is commonly denoted as AM, am, a.m., or A.M.; post meridiem is usually abbreviated PM, pm, p.m., or P.M.
Ante meridiem通常会写成AM, am, a.m., 或者是A.M.
post meridiem会缩写为PM, pm, p.m., 或P.M.
Like many other sources, timeanddate.com uses am and pm, but the other variants are equally correct and widely used.
大多数的时间书写,就像世界日期及时间网一样是使用am和pm的,但其他变体也同样正确并被广泛使用。
那
