At times an ad can lead you to buy something you don’t need at all.(P106) 有时,一则广告会诱导你去买你根本就不需要的东西。 at times意为“有时,不时”,与sometimes同义。两者在句中的位置较灵活,可位于句首,句中或句末。 At times I make mistakes when I speak English. 我说英语时有时会出错。 They went to town at times during the cold winter.在寒冷的冬天,他们有时候进城去。 Sometimes they walk to school. 有时候,他们步行上学。 He sometimes plays football with his friends. 他有时和朋友一起踢足球。 6.
