years作名词时通常表示“多年”，在口语中也常夸张地表示“很久”。
💡 记忆钩子
把时间想成一条长得看不见尽头的路：本来是好几个“年”，路一拉长，就可以用years夸张地说某事等了“很久”。
📝 学习建议
- 先掌握它表示“很久”的口语用法，再根据上下文判断是否确实指若干年。
📖 中文释义
noun
-
core 很久；多年📖 它的基本画面是时间长到要数好几个年；在日常口语里，years还常被用来夸张地表示“很久”，重点是等待或过程特别漫长。💡 常用句型是“it took years to do something”，也可说“for years”表示持续了很久。这个用法偏口语，常带有夸张或抱怨的语气，不一定表示准确的多年。学习时要注意它是复数形式，不能用来表示单独的一年。colloquial excessive plural plural-onlyIt took years for the town to build the new bridge.这座城镇花了很久才建好新桥。It felt like years before the bus finally arrived.公交车终于到站前，感觉像是等了好多年那么久。
