“撞期”, “时间冲突”用英语怎么说



原句:面试和期中考时间冲突了。

My interview and midterm exam clash.
clash /klæʃ/ 不及物动词,表示两件事happen together,时间冲突造成不便,英式英语里用得多,句式结构是A and B clash,或者A clashes with B。
 
My interview clashes with my midterm exam.
 
My interview and midterm exam times overlap.
面试和考试时间重叠。overlap /əʊvəˈlæp/ 动词,表示“部分重叠”,一个事件还没结束,另一个事件就要开始。
 
My interview and midterm exam are on the same day.
A and B are on the same day,这一期我觉得最好记的一句。不过这句严格来说只是“同一天”,比如上午面试下午考试,有可能可以两件事都做。
 
The interview is on the same day as my midterm exam.
类似上一句,是同一天的事情,有可能可以两件事都做。
 
My interview and midterm exam are at the same time.
表示面试和考试在同一个时间,所以不能两件事都做。
 
The interview is at the same time as my midterm exam.
  
下边的句子比较正式和书面:
  
My interview and midterm exam are scheduled for the same day/time.
schedule /ˈʃedjuːl/ (英) /ˈskedʒuːl/ (美),可以做名词或动词,在这里是动词,表示to arrange for something to happen at a particular time,安排事情发生的时间,安排日程。
常用的结构是schedule sth. for+时间,或者schedule sth. to+begin之类的动词+时间。上边句子用的是被动态。
  
There's a time conflict between my interview and midterm exam.
conflict /ˈkɒnflɪkt/ 在这里做名词,表示“冲突”。
  
My interview time conflicts with my midterm exam schedule.
conflict /kənˈflɪkt/ 在这里做动词,表示“冲突”,注意读音和名词时不一样。
 
There's a scheduling conflict between my interview and exam.
scheduling conflict表示“日程安排冲突”。
 
My interview and midterm exam coincide.
coincide /ˌkəʊənˈsaɪd/ 不及物动词,表示“碰巧同时发生”。这一期的表达里,coincide听起来最正式和书面,一般不用于日常口语。
 
My interview coincides with my midterm exam.
同上,一般用于书面。
