在万圣节用on
要分情况,看是把万圣节当成一个单位还是一个区间,表示在万圣节10月31日这一天,用on;表示在万圣节期间包括节前和节后,用at。用at的话Halloween后面加上time意思会更清楚一些。
at和on在表示时间上的用法区别
1.at指时间表示:
(1)时间的一点、时刻等。如:They came home at sunrise (at noon,at midnight,at ten o’clock,at daybreak,at dawn).
(2)较短暂的一段时间。可指某个节日或被认为是一年中标志大事的日子。如:He went home at Christmas (at New Year,at the Spring Festival,at night).
2.on指时间表示:
(1)具体的时日和一个特定的时间,如某日、某节日、星期几等。
如:On Christmas Day(On May 4th),there will be a celebration.
(2)在某个特定的早晨、下午或晚上。
如:He arrived at 10 o’clock on the night of the 5th.
(3)准时,按时。
如:If the train should be on time, I should reach home before dark.
