1. 表示“今天”“明天”,有两层意思:一是指狭义的今天、明天(相对昨天而言),二是广义地指现在、未来(相对过去而言);表示前者的意思通常用 -’s 构成所有格,表示后者的意思,通常用of构成所有格。如:
Have you read today’s paper? 你读过今天的报纸了吗?
The news will be in tomorrow’s newspaper. 明天的报纸将刊载这条消息。
Young people of today have no manners. 如今的青年人不讲礼貌。
The world of tomorrow will be very different. 未来的世界将大不相同。
由于 today 和 tomorrow 可同时作名词或副词,所以用 of构成所有格时,有时可省略 of 而直接用副词后置定语。如:women today(当今的妇女),the changes tomorrow(未来的变化)等。
