“第一次”常见的英文表达有 “for the first time” 或 “the first time”(后者在句中用法稍有不同),此外根据语境也可用 “the initial time”(较正式)、“the maiden time”(较文学化)等,但最常用的是前两者。以下是具体用法和例句:
用法:作为副词短语,修饰整个句子,表示“首次”的动作或经历。
例句:
I visited Paris for the first time last year.
(我去年第一次去了巴黎。)
She learned to drive for the first time at the age of 25.
(她25岁时第一次学开车。)
用法:
作为连词,引导时间状语从句,表示“第一次……的时候”。
作为名词短语,直接修饰名词(如“the first time I saw her”)。
例句:
The first time I went abroad, I was very nervous.
(我第一次出国时,非常紧张。)
This was the first time he had ever flown in a plane.
(这是他第一次坐飞机。)
the initial time(正式场合):
This was the initial time the project faced such a challenge.
(这是项目首次面临这样的挑战。)
the maiden time(文学化):
The maiden time she performed on stage, she forgot her lines.
(她第一次登台表演时,忘了台词。)
日常口语/写作:优先用 “for the first time”(副词短语)或 “the first time”(连词/名词短语)。
正式/文学语境:可考虑 “the initial time” 或 “the maiden time”,但较少用。
