Hello and welcome to Question and Answer of the Week with me, Georgie.
Jiaying
And me, Jiaying. 本期節(jié)目要回答的問(wèn)題是這樣的：
Question
I would like to know the differences between 'once' and 'one time', as well as 'twice' and 'two times'.
Jiaying
副詞 “once” 和副詞搭配 “one time” 的意思是 “一次，一回”；副詞 “twice” 和副詞搭配 “two times” 的意思是 “兩次，兩回”。它們都可以用來(lái)說(shuō)明一件事情發(fā)生的次數(shù)。
Georgie
Yes, 'once' and 'one time' indicate a singular occurrence. I only cooked at home once last week, Jiaying.
Jiaying
Wow, you only cooked at home one time last week. 你上周只在家做了一次飯。而我在家里做了兩次飯：I cooked at home twice. 我也可以說(shuō)：I cooked at home two times.
Georgie
'Once' and 'one time', and 'twice' and 'two times' are generally interchangeable as adverbs, although 'once' and 'twice' are much more common because they're quicker and simpler to use, especially in spoken language.
Jiaying
通常情況下，作副詞或副詞搭配的時(shí)候，“once” 和 “one time”、“twice” 和 “two times” 是可以互換使用的。但相比之下，由于副詞 “once” 和 “twice” 更簡(jiǎn)短，所以特別是在口語(yǔ)交流中，它們要比各自對(duì)應(yīng)的搭配 “one time” 和 “two times” 常用得多。
Georgie
Sometimes we use 'one time' and 'two times' when we want to really emphasise the number of times.
Jiaying
有時(shí)，我們會(huì)用 “one time” 和 “two times” 來(lái)重點(diǎn)強(qiáng)調(diào)事情發(fā)生的次數(shù)是 “一次” 和 “兩次”。聽(tīng)兩個(gè)例句。
Examples
You're giving me a detention? But I only threw my pen one time!
（您要罰我放學(xué)后留校？但我只扔過(guò)一次筆?。?nbsp;
She's won the same award two times already!
（她已經(jīng)兩度榮獲同一獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)！）
Jiaying
上面我們講了在表達(dá)一件事情發(fā)生的次數(shù)時(shí)，“once”、“one time”、“twice” 和 “two times” 的用法。
接下來(lái)，說(shuō)一說(shuō)想表示事情在一段時(shí)間內(nèi)發(fā)生的頻率是 “多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間一次/兩次” 時(shí)，應(yīng)該用哪個(gè)詞。這里可以用副詞 “once/twice + a + 單數(shù)形式的時(shí)間段” —— “twice a day（每天兩次）”；或者 “once/twice + every + 復(fù)數(shù)形式的時(shí)間段” —— “once every two years（每?jī)赡暌淮危?。這里，“once” 和 “twice” 也可以用 “one time” 或者 “two times” 來(lái)替換，意思不變。聽(tīng)兩個(gè)例句。
Examples
Dentists advise that we brush our teeth twice a day.
（牙醫(yī)建議我們每天刷兩次牙。）
I get my hair cut once every eight weeks.
（我每八周剪一次頭發(fā)。）
Jiaying
下面，我們來(lái)講一講在其它語(yǔ)境中可能遇到的情況。
Georgie
When you're talking about 'time' as a noun, maybe you're referring to a couple of times you did something, or you're talking about an athlete's times.
Jiaying
當(dāng)搭配 “one time” 或 “two times” 中的 “time” 或 “times” 作名詞使用且表示 “次，回” 或者 “競(jìng)賽中所用的時(shí)間” 的時(shí)候，這里的 “one time” 或 “two times” 不能用 “once” 或者 “twice” 替換。來(lái)聽(tīng)兩個(gè)例句。
Examples
That one time I counted on you, you ended up letting me down.
（我就指望過(guò)你那一回，結(jié)果你卻讓我失望了。）
The swimmer recorded her best two times in 2023.
（這位游泳運(yùn)動(dòng)員在2023年創(chuàng)造了兩次個(gè)人最好成績(jī)。）
Jiaying
下面，我們補(bǔ)充單詞 “once” 的另外兩個(gè)用法。第一：“once” 作副詞時(shí)，還可以表示 “一度，曾經(jīng)”，這是搭配 “one time” 沒(méi)有的用法。
Georgie
That's right. I once worked in a restaurant. I used to work in a restaurant but now I don't. Here's another example.
Example
She was once very jealous of her sister's career, but now she feels content.
（她曾經(jīng)非常嫉妒她姐姐的事業(yè)，但現(xiàn)在她很滿足。）
Jiaying
第二：“once” 還可以作連詞，表示 “一旦…就，一…就…” 的意思，但 “one time” 卻沒(méi)有這個(gè)用法。聽(tīng)兩個(gè)例句。
Examples
I'll call you once I leave work.
（我離開(kāi)單位后就給你打電話。）
Once you finish your homework, you can go out and play.
（你一完成家庭作業(yè)，就可以出去玩了。）
Georgie
So, the simple answer to your question is that, as adverbs, 'once' means the same as 'one time', and 'twice' means the same as 'two times'. They're synonyms that mean either one or two occurrences. We've also explained some subtle differences.
Jiaying
是的，雖然相比之下，副詞 “once” 和 “twice” 更常用，但如果想要強(qiáng)調(diào)事情發(fā)生的具體次數(shù)是 “一次” 或 “兩次”，那么也可以用它們各自對(duì)應(yīng)的副詞搭配 “one time” 或 “two times”。當(dāng)句子中的 “time” 或 “times” 作名詞表示 “次數(shù)” 或 “競(jìng)賽所用的時(shí)間” 的時(shí)候，應(yīng)該用 “one time” 或 “two times”。我們還補(bǔ)充了 “once” 的另一個(gè)副詞用法和一個(gè)連詞用法。
