donkey's years

Hi there, students. Have you ever heard somebody say 'I haven't seen you for donkey's years'? Yeah, donkey's years, donkey, with possessive, and years, yeah. Ok, donkey apostrophe (s?) years. Ok, donkey's years means a very long time. We normally use this phrase 'donkey's years' with a present perfect. So for example, I have been teaching English for donkey's years, for a very very long time. Ok, yeah, the years of donkey for donkey's years. I have been living here for donkey's years. Notice we either use it with prsent perfect, simple or continuous. Yeah, so for a very long time, from the past, up to now. Yeah, that' s a present perfect or a present pefect continuous. Yeah, so, yeah, he's been doing this job for donkey's years. He's been making videos for donkey's years. No, I have only been making videos for about three years, yeah, that's not long enough for donkey's years. Donkey's years needs to be a very very long time. I have been watching this serial for I've been listening to Archers on BBC radio 4 for donkey's years. Ok, so normally for donkey's years or in donkey's years. I've been living here for donkey's years, I haven't seen you for donkey's years. Ok, so anyway, if you enjoy the video, give it a rating, make sure it's not donkey's years ( to you? till?) see the next video. And I will see you soon, bye for now.

各位！大家聽過有人說‘多年不見，差不多有donkey's years’? donkey's years, 這裡的donkey用了所有格，後面跟years，donkey­，撇號，years。donkey's years意思是一段非常長的時間。這個短語通常被用在現在完成­時態中。比如，我教英語很多年了，有donkey's years這麼長。非常非常長的時間。我住在這裡有donkey­'s years這麼久了，住了幾輩子了。注意，我們或者將它用在現在­完成時態、現在一般時態中，或者用在一般進行時態中。某種狀態持­續了很久，從過去一直到現在，這個就是現在完成時態或者現在完成­進行時態。他做這個工作無數年了，他制作錄像無數年了。我制作錄像只有3年­時間，這個時間長度不可以說donkey's years。donkey's years需要非常長的時間。我收看這個電視劇已經有donke­y's years，我收聽BBC4台的節目Archers已經有don­key's years這麼久的時間了。donkey's years可以用for donkey's years或者in donkey's years。我住在這裡差不多 for donkey's years, 我不見你有很多年了，in donkey's years了。如果你喜歡這個錄像，留下一個‘喜歡’評級。我保­證你不會等待donkey's years才看到下一個錄像的出現。
