期中的英语翻译主要有以下两种常见表达:
- interim:
最常用且标准的翻译,例如:
- The company is in an interim period of restructuring.
- The meeting was held during the interim between two fiscal quarters.
- midterm:同样广泛使用,例如:
- The midterm exam is the most important assessment of the semester.
- The project was completed in the midterm of the development cycle.
- midsemester:
强调学期中阶段,例如:
- The midsemester report is due next week.
- period:较少单独使用,多用于特定场景(如篮球赛、财务周期等),例如:
- The basketball team is in the middle of the season.
使用建议:
日常交流和学术写作中优先使用 interim和 midterm;
避免混淆 interim与 interval(后者表示时间间隔)。若需进一步了解相关短语,可参考:
interim report(期中报告)
mid-term examination(期中考试)
