Hi there.

嘿，你好。

My name is Emma, and in today‘s video I am going to teach you a very, very important grammar point.

我的名字是艾玛，在今天的视频中，我将教你一个非常非常重要的语法点。

I‘m going to teach you about a mistake many, many students make.

我要教你一个很多很多学生犯的错误。

So I don‘t want you to make this mistake, so let‘s get started.

所以我不希望你犯这个错误，所以让我们开始吧。

In this video I am going to teach you the difference between " How long" , " How long time" , " How much time" and " How many times" .

在本视频中，我将教您"多长时间"，"多长时间"，"多少时间"和"多少次"之间的区别。

Students often confuse these four expressions.

学生经常混淆这四种表达方式。

So let‘s look at some of the differences.

因此，让我们看一下其中的一些差异。

So I have here a question.

所以我这里有一个问题。

I actually have three different sentences, here.

我实际上有三个不同的句子，在这里。

One of them is right, two of them are wrong.

其中一个是对的，其中两个是错的。

So let‘s look at these together.

让我们一起来看看这些。

The first one: " How long time have you been here? " The second one: " How long have you been here? " And the third one: " How many time have you been here? " So one of these is correct.

第一个："你在这里待了多久了？第二个："你在这里待了多久了？第三个："你来这里多少次了？所以其中一个是正确的。

Which one do you think is right?

您认为哪一个是正确的？

If you said: " How long time have you been here? " that‘s incorrect.

如果你说："你在这里待了多久了？"那是不正确的。

This one, it‘s wrong.

这个，错了。

Number two: " How long have you been here? " If you said this one, you are correct.

第二："你来这里多久了？如果你说这个，你是对的。

This is right.

这是对的。

What about the last one?

最后一个呢？

" How many time have you been here? " This one is also wrong, but we can make it right if we add an " s" .

"你来过这里多少次了？"这个也是错误的，但是如果我们添加一个" s"，我们可以使它正确。

So let‘s go over each of these so you can find out why some of these are wrong, and why some of them are right.

因此，让我们逐一回顾一下，这样你就可以找出为什么其中一些是错误的，以及为什么其中一些是正确的。

To get started, let‘s look at " How long" .

首先，让我们看看"多长时间"。

So when we ask somebody: " How long. . . ? " we are asking them about time.

因此，当我们问某人："多长时间......"我们是在问他们时间。

We want to know the amount of time for something.

我们想知道某件事的时间。

So, for example: " How long have you been here? " I want to know, maybe, how many minutes.

所以，例如："你在这里呆了多久了？我想知道，也许，多少分钟。

Or maybe I want to know how many hours you‘ve been here.

或者也许我想知道你在这里呆了多少个小时。

If I ask you: " How long have you lived in England? " an answer would be a number that has to do with time.

如果我问你："你在英国生活了多久？"答案将是一个与时间有关的数字。

You might say: " Five years." , " Four weeks." , " Two months." Okay?

你可能会说："五年"，"四周"，"两个月"。好？

So when we ask: " How long. . . ? " the answer and what we want to know is about time; minutes, hours, days, months, weeks, years.

因此，当我们问："多长时间......"答案和我们想知道的是关于时间;分钟，小时，天，月，周，年。

So let‘s look at another example.

让我们看另一个例子。

" How long have you lived in Spain? " The answer is going to be something about time.

" 你在西班牙生活了多久？答案是关于时间的。

" Three years."

"三年。"

You‘ll notice not always, but many times we use: " How long" with the present perfect.

你会注意到并非总是如此，但很多时候我们使用："多长时间"与现在完美。

It‘s possible to use it with the past tense, the simple past, and also the future, but you will often see it with the present perfect.

可以用它来搭配过去时态，简单的过去，也可以搭配未来，但你经常会看到它与现在的完美搭配。

" How long have you been married? " , " How long have you worked here? " , " How long have you studied English? " Okay?

"你结婚多久了？"，"你在这里工作了多久？"，"你学了多长时间的英语？"好？

So a lot of the questions you probably want to ask somebody, you‘re probably going to use: " How long have you. . . ? "

所以很多你可能想问别人的问题，你可能会用到："你多久了......"。

Very common way we ask questions.

我们问问题的方式很常见。

So, what about: " How long time" ?

那么，"多长时间"呢？

Can I say that also?

我也可以这么说吗？

Can I say: " How long time have you lived in Spain? " or: " How long time did you sleep on the plane? " No.

我可以说："你在西班牙住了多久？"或者："你在飞机上睡了多久？不。

If you‘re asking how long, you don‘t need the word " time" .

如果你问多久，你不需要"时间"这个词。

We never say in English: " How long time" .

我们从不用英语说："多长时间"。

Many students say: " How long time" , but this is not correct.

很多学生说："多长时间"，但这是不正确的。

The correct expression: " How long" .

正确的表达："多长时间"。

Not: " How long time" .

不是："多长时间"。

All right, so now let‘s look at " How much time" and " How many times" .

好了，现在让我们来看看"多少时间"和"多少次"。

Okay, so we‘ve talked about " How long" , which is good, " How long time" , which is bad.

好吧，我们已经谈到了"多长时间"，这是好的，"多长时间"，这是坏的。

Now let‘s look at: " How much time. . . ? " I think this is why many students get confused.

现在让我们来看看："多少时间...？我想这就是为什么许多学生感到困惑的原因。

I think they confuse: " How long" and " How much time" , and they. . .

我认为他们混淆了："多长时间"和"多少时间"，他们......

As a result, they create: " How long time" , which is incorrect.

结果，他们创造了："多长时间"，这是不正确的。

So: " How much time" actually is pretty much the same as " How long" .

所以："多少时间"实际上与"多长时间"几乎相同。

When you ask: " How much time. . . ? " you want to know about the amount of time.

当你问："多少时间......"你想知道时间量。

You want to know about maybe it‘s minutes, days, weeks, months, years.

你想知道也许是几分钟，几天，几周，几个月，几年。

It‘s the same as " How long" .

这与"多长时间"相同。

So, for example: " How much time does it take to get to work? " I could also say: " How long does it take to get to work? " They have the same meaning.

因此，例如："上班需要多少时间？我也可以说："上班需要多长时间？它们具有相同的含义。

Or: " How much time have you waited? " , " How much time have you been in line for? "

或者："你等了多少时间？"，"你排队多少时间了？

So, the answers to these questions are going to be about time.

因此，这些问题的答案将取决于时间。

-" How much time does it take to get to work? " " For me, it takes one hour." " How much time have you waited in line? " -" I‘ve waited in line five minutes." Okay?

-"上班需要多长时间？" "对我来说，这需要一个小时。"你排队等了多少时间？"-"我等了五分钟。好？

So, for both " How long" and " How much time" , they‘re pretty much the same.

因此，对于"多长时间"和"多长时间"，它们几乎是相同的。

In conversation, we usually use " How long" .

在对话中，我们通常使用"多长时间"。

You can use both, but native speakers are more likely to use " How long" .

您可以同时使用两者，但母语人士更有可能使用"多长时间"。

So if you‘re trying to decide: Do I use " How much time" or " How long" ?

因此，如果您试图决定：我使用"多少时间"还是"多长时间"？

" How long" is more natural and it‘s more common.

"多长时间"更自然，更常见。

But they mean the same thing.

但它们的意思是一样的。

Now, here‘s another area many students get confused.

现在，这是许多学生感到困惑的另一个领域。

" How many times. . . ? " " How many times" is not the same as " How much time" .

" 多少次..."？"多少次"与"多少时间"不同。

The words " how" and " time" are the same, but these have different meanings.

如何"和"时间"这两个词是相同的，但它们有不同的含义。

First, before I tell you what this means, I want you to notice the word " time" and " time" here.

首先，在我告诉你这是什么意思之前，我希望你注意到这里的"时间"和"时间"这个词。

With " How much time" is there an " s" ?

有了"多少时间"，就有一个"s"？

No, there is no " s" .

不，没有"s"。

But for " How many times" there always is an " s" .

但对于"多少次"，总有一个"s"。

We don‘t say: " How many time" , we say: " How many times" with an " s" .

我们不说："多少次"，我们说："多少次"与"s"。

So this has a different meaning than this.

所以这有不同于此的含义。

This is different because when you ask someone: " How many times" , you want to know the number of events.

这是不同的，因为当你问某人："多少次"时，你想知道事件的数量。

Not the time, the number of events.

不是时间，而是事件的数量。

So you‘re counting; one, two, three, four, five.

所以你在数数;一，二，三，四，五。

So, for example, you might say: " How many times did you watch the movie Titanic? " Some people watched the movie once, some people watched the movie twice, some people watched the movie 100 times, maybe even 500 times.

所以，例如，你可能会说："你看了多少次电影《泰坦尼克号》？有人看了一遍电影，有人看了两遍电影，有人看了100遍，甚至500次。

So: " How many times did you watch the movie Titanic? " , " How many times did you eat today? " Maybe if you had breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you ate three times.

所以："你看了多少次电影《泰坦尼克号》？"，"你今天吃了多少次？也许如果你吃了早餐，午餐和晚餐，你吃了三次。

-" How many times have you been to the museum? " -" I‘ve been to the museum five times."

-"你去过博物馆多少次？" -"我去过博物馆五次。

So this, for " How many times" , you‘re counting.

所以这个，对于"多少次"，你正在计数。

And your answer, it could be once, twice.

而你的答案，可能是一次，两次。

After twice, we often say: " Three times" , with an " s" also, " Four times" .

两次之后，我们常说："三次"，加上"s"，也说"四次"。

We can also say: " One time" , " Two times" , that‘s possible, too.

我们也可以说："一次"，"两次"，这也是可能的。

So here‘s one more example: " How many times will you watch this video? " Will you watch it one time, two times, three times, 100 times?

所以这里有一个例子："你会看这个视频多少次？你会看一次，两次，三次，100次吗？

I hope not, but I hope you watch this video.

我希望不是，但我希望你看这个视频。

And if you need to watch it multiple times, it can help you really with your understanding.

如果你需要多次观看它，它可以帮助你真正理解它。

Okay, so just to go over what you learned in this video: We talked about " How long" meaning we‘re talking about time; minutes, hours, days.

好吧，让我们回顾一下你在这个视频中学到的东西：我们谈到了"多长时间"，这意味着我们谈论的是时间;分钟、小时、天。

We talked about " How much time" which has the same meaning, but is less common.

我们谈到了"多少时间"，它具有相同的含义，但不太常见。

We talked about " How many times" , which is not the same, and which means you‘re counting.

我们谈到了"多少次"，这是不一样的，这意味着你正在计数。

And we also talked about " How long time" , which is never, never correct in English.

我们还谈到了"多长时间"，这在英语中从来都不是，从来都不是正确的。

We never say: " How long time" .

我们从不说："多长时间"。
