English to Chinese Translation: "This was the darkest period of his life." How do you translate the following into Chinese: "This was the darkest period of his life." -- or -- "This was the darkest time in his life."What I mean to ask is if a different term is used for shorter time periods than longer time periods. For example if I say "This was the darkest time in his life." is it a different term for time period for a period of 3 months, as opposed to say 6 months, or 10 years?
