By the mean time意思
"By the mean time" 這個短語的正確表達應該是 "In the meantime" 或者 "Meanwhile"。這個短語的意思是「與此同時」,用來指在同一時期內發生的兩個或多個不同的事情。例如:
- I'll start cooking dinner, and you can do the dishes in the meantime.
- I'll call the doctor, and you can fill out the insurance forms meanwhile.
這個短語通常用來連線兩個並列的分句,表示同時進行的不同動作或活動。如果你想表達的是「在某個時間點之前」,那么正確的短語是 "By the time",例如:
- By the time I got to the store, it had already closed.
- By the time you wake up, I'll have already left for work.
這個短語用來表示在某個動作發生之前,另一個動作已經完成了。
