(1) 一整天

We talked it over all day long.
我們談這事談了一整天。

請問下面英文如何翻譯？

一整個晚上
一整個星期
一整個月
一整年

謝謝

引用:
It rained all night.
雨下了一整夜。

It rained the whole week.
雨下了一整個星期。

It rained the whole month.
雨下了一整個月。

It rained the whole year.
雨下了一整年。

謝謝

下面這句我寫對了嗎？
It was incredible that he had instant noodles for supper the whole month！
他整個月都吃泡麵當晚飯，真是不可思議！

引用:
寫的不錯！

也可以這樣寫：

It was amazing that he had had instant noodles for dinner the whole month.

It was amazing that he had had instant noodles for dinner for (about) a month.

謝謝

再請教，下面這二句我寫對了嗎？

Tom stayed abroad the whole year & came back seldom.
Tom 整年都待在國外，很少回來。

Is that all we spend our whole life time for working hard to gain money & getting married & raising children？
人的一生只是為了工作賺錢和結婚生子嗎？

引用:
我的的寫法：
1. Tom stayed abroad the whole year and seldom came back.

2. Tom stayed abroad the whole year and didn't come back very often.

＊ 有些外國人少用 selodm 而比較偏好使用 don't....very often



引用:
我的的寫法：

Is that all we spend our whole life time working hard for (more) money, getting married & raising children?

或

What is the purpose of our lives?
Spend the whole life time working hard for (more) money, getting married & raising children?
I don't think so!

＊ 其實上面這句話有很多種表達方式，要看說話者當時的心境，兩種表達方式我都有聽說過。

說到「人的一生」，
順便補充一下「人生的目的為何？」的英文講法：

What's the purpose in life？
What's the purpose of life？
What's the life purpose？
人生的目的為何？



Diana 真是好學努力！
