Grammar语法
Or so
In today’s dialogue we see the phrase “20 minutes or so”. “Or so” means “around”, “about”, or “approximately”. Like those words, we can use it to tell people that a number or amount is not exact.
在今天的对话中，我们看到了“20 minutes or so(20分钟左右)”这个短语。“Or so”的意思是“大约”、“大概”或“约莫”。就像这些词一样，我们可以用它来告诉人们一个数字或数量不准确。
We can say “20 or so”, but often when there is a unit like “minutes”, “dollars”, “people”, we will put “or so” after the noun, as in “20 minutes or so”, “$20 or so”, or “20 people or so”.
我们可以说“20 or so”，但通常当有“分钟”、“美元”、“人”这样的单位时，我们会在名词后面加上“or so”，比如“20 minutes or so(20分钟左右)”、“$20 or so(20美元左右)”或“20 people or so(20人左右)”。
It is also very common to combine “or so” with “around” or “about” and say “around 20 minutes or so”.
把“or so”和“around”或“about”组合起来说“around 20 minutes or so”也是很常见的。
For example:
We're going to stay here for a week or so.
我们打算在这里待上一个星期左右。
There were probably 50 people or so at the party.
聚会上大概有50人左右。
