大家好，歡迎來的餅哥英語的頻道，今天我們分享一個非常有用且地道的表達——half the time, 這個短語的含義不是指「一半的時間」，其正確的含義是：
half the time 經常，大部分時間
Paul doesn't show up for his appointments half the time, so I'm not surprised he isn't here.
保羅經常不赴約，所以他不在這裡我並不奇怪。
I like that TV show, but half the time I forget to watch it when it's on.
我喜歡那部電視劇，但是當它上演的時候我經常忘記看它。
She says she's my friend, but she can't remember my name, half the time.
她說她是我的朋友，但她經常記不起我的名字。
Do tell me whether you are coming home for lunch or not. I don’t know where you are half the time.
請告訴我你是否回家吃午飯。我經常都不知道你在哪裡。
Half the time you don't even listen to what I say.
你經常甚至沒聽我說的話。
