period是什么意思

英语中一个句子的结尾加“period”大致表示“就这样”。中文里没有特别贴切的翻译。

period英 [\'pɪəriəd] 　 　 美 [\'pɪriəd]

1、ADV 到此为止；不再说了

Some people say period after stating a fact or opinion when they want to emphasize that they are definite about something and do not want to discuss it further.

I don\'t want to do it, period. 我不想做，这事就到此为止吧。

2、N-COUNT 句号

A period is the punctuation mark (.) which you use at the end of a sentence when it is not a question or an exclamation.
