一、时间点的表达
1、所有的时间都可以用“小时 + 分钟”直接读：

2:40 two forty
2、如果所表述的时间在半小时之内，可以用“分钟 + past + 小时”：
6:10 ten past six
4:20 twenty past four
10:25 twenty-five past ten
3、如果所表述的时间在半小时之外，可以用“（相差的）分钟 + to + （下一）小时”：
10:35 twenty-five to eleven
5:50 ten to six
9:49 eleven to ten
4、如果所表述的时间恰好为半小时，可以用“half + past + 小时”：
