term

核心问题

Two students meet for the first time at the beginning of term.

我认为上面的句子有错误: of term 应改为 of the term, 因为 term 是个可数名词。

词典解答

作“学期”解的 term 虽然是可数名词,但它的前面常常省略 the[参见 the time of (the) year]: 1. Term is over. 学期结束了。

  1. Are there any examinations at the end of term? (LDCE) 学期末有考试吗?

  2. Two friends meet at school on the first day of term. (SEFC, 1A, p. 1) 两个朋友在学期的第一天相遇。
