今日小常识In the UK, the clocks go one hour forward this weekend, to take account of the longer days of summer. Last year British parliament debated whether to stay on Central European Time – an hour ahead of the UK – throughout the year. However, the move was opposed by the Scottish government who feared problems caused by dark mornings in winter.
在英国，夏时制从这周末开始。去年英国议会讨论了英国是否应该采纳欧洲中央时刻，意味着全年都将是提前英国本地时间1小时。不过该项建议被苏格兰政府否决，因为这可能引起冬季早晨过于黑暗而造成多种问题。
短语表达 high time 意思是某事需要尽快办，因为已经迟了，不能再拖下去了。
例句
I'm already 42. It's high time I sorted my pension out!
The plane's due to leave in 30 minutes. It's high time we were boarding.
It's high time we got our car serviced. It's been making that funny noise for months.
请注意
请注意在上面的例句中，语法上 high time 前面不用加冠词，后面跟的句型是一般过去时或过去进行时。
当这个短语和冠词连用时，意思会完全不一样，指非常热闹的气氛，度过精彩的时光。这个用法比较老套。
