1. what time与 when 都可表示“什么时候”。前者所表示的时间比较精确,指“几点钟”,“几时几分”;后者所表示的时间范围广,既可指“几点钟”“几点几分”,用来代替what time,也可能某年某月某日。
2. when和what time的区别在于what time问具体的时间,如某一天的几点钟,甚至几分钟,而when问的时间比较笼统。比如在问生日时,不要用“what time”,应该用when。
用法示例如下:
what time
1. Whats the time? / What time is it? 几点钟了?
2. What time did he leave?他什么时候离开的?
3. What time do you get up? 你什么时候起床?
when
1. When are you going home? 你什么時候回家?
2. When eating a whole cooked fish, you should never turn it over to get at the flesh on the other side. 吃一整条鱼时,切忌把它翻过来去吃另一面的肉。
3. When I met the Greens, I had been gardening for nearly ten years. 遇到格林一家时,我已经做了近10年的园艺工作。
