下面是一个很容易陷入的英语陷阱:
Sometime, Sometimes, Some time
这三个词语你能区别吗?
(1)  Sometime     有未来的“不确定的时间”之意;
(2)  Sometimes   的意思是“偶尔”,“时不时”;
(3)  Some time    的意思是“一段(有限的)时间”。
例:
(A)  Why don't you come up sometime and see me?
(B)  I am so muddled that sometimes I don't understand a single word
of what I am saying.
(C)  You must give some time to your fellow men. Even if it's a little thing,
do something for others  --  something for which you get no pay but
only the privilege of doing it.
你来试一试:
(a)  "If you want an interesting party _____ , combine cocktails and a
fresh box of crayons for everyone."
(b)  "_____ a scream is better than a thesis."
(c)  "I've been trying for _____ to develop a lifestyle that doesn't require
my presence."
(d)  "Somewhere, somehow, I will find _____ to attend to this vexing problem."
