飞鹤奶粉erent as n[url=http://old.feihe.com/company_info.aspx]飞鹤奶粉[/urlrent as night and day是指两样完全不同的东西，就象黑暗的夜晚和明亮的白天一样不同。下面我们来举一个例子，例句里说话的人在讲他的哥哥姐姐。
例句-1：It's hard to believe my brother and sister have the same mother and dad. They're as different as night and day. She has blonde hair and blue eyes. He has brown eyes and black hair. And me - I don't look much like either one of them.
例句-2：Sometimes it feels scary when I wake up in the dead of nightand hear strange noises downstairs, creaks and groans. I'm pretty sure it's nothing but the old house getting older around me so I tell myself I don't really believe in ghosts.
这个短语和dead of night相似。大家可能都知道winter这个词，winter就是冬天。那么，dead of winter是什么意思呢？
实际上，dead of winter和dead（死）这个词没有关系。Dead of winter的意思很简单，就是指寒冷的冬季里最冷的时候。
我们来举一个例子。这样更能体会dead of winter这个说法的意思。例句里说话的人有一个小小的院子。他在院子里种点蔬菜，供一家人吃。可是，华盛顿的冬天很冷，从十一月开始就开始会结冰，一直要持续到二月份。在这期间，这个人的院子就看起来死气沉沉。可是， 这个人找了一个消磨时间的方法。他说：
例句-3：In January, in the dead of winter, when it often gets below freezing and maybe there's snow, I stay warm by looking at the pictures of vegetables in seed catalogs and thinking about spring when it will be warm enough to plant fresh food to eat.
例句-4：Yes, I'm a regular night owl. So if you want to talk business with me, the best time to phone is from 10 at night until two in the morning. That's really the time when I'm wide awake and ready to work. Yes sir, I'm a real night owl.
