核心问题
《大学核心英语》教参 p.88 有这样一段注释：
Compare the following two sentences:
Sanderson will run a mile in four minutes' time.
(That's how long it will take him to do it.)
Sanderson will run a mile in four minutes.
(That's when he'll start running.)
我觉得这里的注释是有问题的,请解释。
词典解答
括号之内的注释放错了位置,即第一个括号之内的注释应放在第二个句子之后。第二个括号之内的注释应放在第一个句子之后,见 in three minutes/in three minutes' time。
in future/in the future 见 future
