2. a three-day holiday
a three-day是复合形容词,这种形容词有两个特点:一是词与词之间要用连字符连接;二是数词之后的名词用单数形式。例如:
a three-meter-long line一条三米长的绳子
【拓展】
岁数的表达方式小结:
(1) 基数词 + years old。例如:

(2) 基础词-year-old。例如:

(3) 名词 + of + 基础词。例如:

(2) until既可用于肯定句,也可用于否定句,但二者所表达的时间界限不同。用于肯定句,表示动作一直持续到until后的时刻;用于否定句,构成….not…until的固定搭配,意为“直到……才……”表示动作从until后的时刻开始。例如:

【拓展】cross; across与through的辨析:
这三个词均有“过,通过”之意。唯独cross是动词,在句中多作谓语,across和through是介词;across和cross强调从一定范围的一边到另一边,且在物体表面上进行的动作,across常与go; walk; fly; jump等动词搭配;through则强调从某一范围的一端到另一端或沿着某一条线进行的动作,且表示的动作在立体的内部空间进行,如穿过沙漠、森林、窗户、城市等。例如:
