: ※ 引述《mingtai1 (snake)》之铭言:
: : Hi all, I wanna ask a question about "in"
: : When we say "I'll be back in one week"
: : That means, within one week or after one week?
: : in general, it should be "within"
: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
: Actually not.
: It means "after a period of (one week)" in the example you gave.
: : but I just found one example with opposite meaning from yahoo dictionary
: : http://tw.dictionary.yahoo.com/search?ei=UTF-8&p=in
: : (the seventh explanation)
: : Does anyone know this?
do u mean, be back after exactly one week (that is , 7 days?)
actually one of my New Zealand friend told me this today
(she said it's equal to 7 days exactly)
