The Winter Olympics are held( )选every four year 还是every fourth year?理由是什么?

问题描述:

The Winter Olympics are held( )
选every four year 还是every fourth year?
理由是什么?

every four year

every four year
every fourth year这种说法本身就是错误的。

给一楼补充点。。
The winter olympics are held every four years.
翻译:冬季奥林匹克运动会每隔四年举行一次。
The winter olympics are held every fourth year.
翻译:冬季奥林匹克运动会在每三年后的第四年举行一次(有点绕口)
every +基数+ years 强调的是每隔几年
every + 序数+ year 强调的是第几年

选every four year ,---------------每4年

选every fourth year,前面一个表达是错误的,应该是every four years.
every fourth year =every four years
every 与基数词、序数词、other 和few 连用,表示时间或空间的间隔,意为“每……;每隔……”.如:
He comes here every three days (every third day).他每三天(每隔两天)来这儿一次.
You'd better plant a tree every five meters(every fifth meter).你最好每(隔)5米种一棵树.(树的空间忽略不计)
Write on every other line.隔行写.
every other day 每隔一天
every few days 每隔几天(注意“few”前没有“a”)
