What exactly does "日前" mean? Today I used the phrase "日前“ with my teacher... I was under the impression that this phrase meant " The other day" or "A few days ago" and in every dictionary or online Chinese website I have found it says that it means this... My teacher told me today that it doesn't mean that, but it means "Nowadays" exactly like 如今. I totally believe her, but why does every dictionary and translation site I have found say that the meaning for this is "The other day". eg.. 日前我在商店。(the other day I was at the store) Does it mean Nowadays, the other day, a few days ago??? I'm confused. Thanks

其實 我並不認為 資深的老師會刻意教了錯誤的知識給你

他可能只是犯了 "錯把馮京當馬涼" 的疏忽罷了

因為 "日前" "目前" 的差別只是一橫而已

 

他可能只需要換一副老花眼鏡 就會改變見解了

你可以恭敬大膽的指正你老師的話!

 

"日前" 是 "今日之前" "最近幾天之前" 之意

只表示過去 不表示未來

即 "A few days ago"

例如

"日前" 來訪的德國柏林愛樂交響樂團,是世界一流的樂團。
" "日前" 我在商店 " 是 "前幾天我在商店" 之意

而非 "我 "現在" 在商店"

 

the other day 還是 "日前" 之意
I wrote a letter to him the other day.

"日前" 我給他寫過一封信。

 

nowadays 是 "當今 現今" 之意

德國柏林愛樂交響樂團是 "當今" 世界一流的樂團。

 

"如今" 也是 "目前 現在" 之意

事到 "如今" : 事情到了 "現在" 這種地步

很显然,“日前”的意思用作“目前、现在”,这已是常用意。百度搜索的那么多文章可以支持这个观点,如我在Corrections里所列举的那些新闻类文章。语言问题的辩论很有积极意义,但不要谩骂。

那三條解釋出自於 zdic.net 惟第二條屬於罕用義 且其英文並未解釋第二義 將罕用義擬作常用義使用 指鹿為馬 非愚則誣 無怪乎爾愈辯 彼愈糊塗
