請問英文片語

Question

at the same time和in the meantime和simultaneously

這三個詞都對等嗎?可以互通嗎?

Answer 1

不太一樣吧...

at the same time 是"在同時"
e.g. He was a two-timing bastard for he dated both Mary and Kathy at the same time.

in the meantime 是"在這段時間內"
e.g. I have to go out for about an hour, and in the meantime you may want to review that chapter.

simultaneously 是"同步的"
e.g. The systme can simultaneously process different documents.

我是覺得啦
at the same time 跟 simultaneously 還有可以互通的時候
但是in the meantime就不太一樣了
像我給的例句
也可以把第一句改成
He's a two-timing bastard, for he dated Mary and Kathy simultaneously.
第三句也可以改成
The system can process different documents at the same time.

Answer 2

at the same time和in the meantime對等互通用來形容事務情況
simultaneously用來形容動作行動
