八点二十的英语怎么说_英文单词怎么写
时间：
"Eight twenty" in Engpsh can be written as "8:20" or "20 past 8". It can also be spoken as "eight twenty" or "twenty past eight".
The use of "past" or "to" when referring to time is a holdover from the system of Roman timekeeping, which used "ante meridiem" (meaning "before midday") and "post meridiem" (meaning "after midday") to indicate the time before or after noon. The terms "past" and "to" are used in a similar way in Engpsh to indicate whether the time is before or after the hour. For example, "8:20" is spoken as "twenty past eight" because it is 20 minutes after 8 o'clock, while "8:40" would be spoken as "twenty to nine" because it is 20 minutes before 9 o'clock.
Example sentences:
I have a meeting at eight twenty.
The train leaves at eight twenty.
翻译：
我8点20分有一个会议。
火车8点20分出发。
