嗨，大家好，我是哈里，欢迎大家！
back to Advanced English Lessons with Harry where I tried to help you to get a better understanding of the English language.
让我们回到哈利教授的高级英语课程吧。在那些课程中，我努力帮助大家更好地理解英语这门语言。
So in this advanced English lesson we're looking at expressions about time, okay?
在这节高级英语课程中，我们将学习与时间相关的表达方式，明白吗？
So it's advanced English so you might
所以，这属于高级英语内容；你可能需要……（不过句子在这里不完整，无法继续翻译。）
not understand them all but try and understand as many as you can and practice them because that really really makes a difference.
虽然并不能完全理解所有内容，但还是要尽力去理解尽可能多的部分，并加以实践；因为这确实会带来很大的不同（即：通过实践，你的能力或理解力会有显著提升）。
So when we're talking about time there are two expressions that get people confused a lot on time and in time,
当我们谈论时间时，有两种表达方式常常让人们感到困惑。
okay?
好的？
So just a quick explanation is the difference.
简单来说，这就是两者之间的区别。
Usually when we're talking about on time it's relating to something that's scheduled.
通常，当我们谈论“按时完成”时，指的是那些已经安排好时间、需要按计划完成的事情。
The train is on time.
火车准点到达了。
The train is always on time.
这列火车总是准点到达。
The bus is never on time.
这辆公交车从来都不准时。
It's never there when you want it.
总是在你需要的时候它却不在身边。
It tells you it will arrive.
它会告诉你货物即将送达。
The schedule says it will arrive at
根据时间表显示，它将会在……时间到达。
two o 'clock and it's usually two or three or four minutes late but you have to be on time.
现在是两点钟，火车通常会晚两到四分钟，但你必须准时到达。
So the train is arriving on time on platform number two.
火车准时到达了二号站台。
Yes sir, the airplanes are all on time.
是的，先生，所有飞机都准时到达了。
There's no difficulty so the plane will be on time.
没有任何问题，所以飞机一定会准时到达。
It will be landing as per the schedule.
它将按照预定计划进行降落。
So when we're talking about schedule we refer to on time or even meetings
因此，当我们谈论“时间安排”时，我们指的是是否能够按时完成某事，甚至是指会议的召开是否能够按照预定时间进行。
on time.
准时到达。
The meeting will start on time at
会议将准时开始。
two o 'clock and when we use in time we can use it in referring to matters like handing in a document.

八点钟的时候，你还有时间。
