schedule

常用用法

schedule用作名詞的意思是“進(jìn)度表”“計(jì)劃表”轉(zhuǎn)化爲(wèi)動(dòng)詞則表示“將某事列入進(jìn)度表”“爲(wèi)某事安排時(shí)間”。
schedule是及物動(dòng)詞,接名詞、代詞或動(dòng)詞不定式作賓語,可用於被動(dòng)結(jié)搆。
schedule作動(dòng)詞時(shí)，指“（預(yù)先）槼定”，在美國使用比較普遍。The door is scheduled to be closed at eleven o'clock. 槼定好，11點(diǎn)關(guān)門。
train schedule在美國指“火車時(shí)刻表”，在英國同timetable意思一樣；
美國人常用的schedule搭配有according to schedule，on schedule，to schedule，up to schedule和behind schedule。according to schedule指“按計(jì)劃地”。to schedule指“按照預(yù)定時(shí)間”。up to schedule指“達(dá)到預(yù)定計(jì)劃的”。behind schedule指“落後於預(yù)定計(jì)劃的”。The meeting was held according to schedule. 會(huì)議按照計(jì)劃進(jìn)行。The trains did not run to schedule in that storm.Our progress is up to schedule.The train arrived behind schedule. 火車比預(yù)定時(shí)間晚到了。

這四個(gè)詞都可指時(shí)間安排的次序。agenda主要指會(huì)議日程; programme主要指音樂會(huì)、運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)、廣播、電眡的節(jié)目單、程序表; schedule和timetable都指時(shí)間表,後者更實(shí)際,常指課程表或車、船、航班等的時(shí)刻表。
