   prime time 黄金时段


  今天就要学的习惯用语是:prime time。prime这个词来自拉丁文primus. primus在拉丁语里是第一的意思。所以prime可以解释为“第一流的”,也就是“最好的”,那么prime time可不就是最好的时间吗?这个短语特别指通常拥有最多听众或者观众的电视和广播节目时间。换句话说是“黄金时段”。
  在美国,晚上八到十一点是电视的黄金时段,而广播电台的黄金时段却是早上和晚上的上下班高峰时间,因为人们在车上一般不能看电视,就会收听广播了。好,我们听听唐本森先生为我们解释为什么美国电视的prime time是晚上八到十一点:
  例句:The TV prime time is when TV gets most viewers. By 8 PM most of us have eaten dinner and want to relax and be entertained. But by 11 o'clock people are sleepy and ready to go to bed.
  唐本森先生告诉我们:电视黄金时段是指电视观众最多的时候。我们多数人到晚上八点都吃过晚饭了,想要轻轻松松地消遣一下。但是到了十一点人们却困倦了,准备上床睡觉。
  看了唐本森先生的话大家一定明白TV prime time是怎么回事。
