| 释义 | time (once / 4 pages) 1n 2nv 3nv 4n 5n Time is the movement from past to present to future. You can tell time with a clock, and it takes time to do anything. You can have a great time at a party, serve time in jail, or keep time while making music. You can time the runners in a race by keeping track of how long it takes them to finish. Time flies when you're having fun, but sometimes it feels like you have all the time in the world. It's hard to find the right time for some things — like proposing marriage. When you die, your time has run out.
