Eastern Time

Eastern Time (ET) is a general term used to describe the areas that observe either the Eastern Standard Time (EST) or Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in the United States and Canada. ET is not static but switches between EDT and EST.

ET is also used somewhat as a de facto official time for all of the United States because it encompasses 17 U.S. states in the eastern part of the contiguous United States including the capital city Washington D.C., the most populous city New York and half of the country’s population.

In the United States nationally televised programs, evening newscasts, talent and awards shows, and any other nationally televised event that airs live on American television during prime time and on the weekends are broadcast live in the Eastern Time Zone. Major professional sports leagues MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL also provide their game times in Eastern Time, even if teams are from outside of Eastern Time.

Countries: It is used in following countries: Bahamas, Canada, Haiti, Jamaica, Cayman Islands, Mexico, Panama, Turks & Caicos Is, United States.

Principal Cities: The largest city in the EST timezone is New York City from USA with population about 8.175 million people. Other major cities in the area are Toronto, Montreal, Brooklyn, Borough of Queens.

Часовой пояс

Гораздо сложнее высчитывать время с учетом географического и административного часовых поясов.

Географический часовой пояс – условная линия на земной поверхности. Нулевым часовым поясом принято считать гринвичский меридиан. От него и идет отсчет: +0:00, +1:00, … +23:00. Московское время — +3:00.

Административный часовой пояс – территория, на которой время может отличаться от времени по ГЧП из-за принятых законов.

Буквенные обозначения часовых поясов

Для разных стран, регионов и территорий используются буквенные обозначения часовых поясов. Например:

  • ET — Северноамериканское Восточное Время — UTC/GMT -5:00;
  • EST — Северноамериканское Восточное Стандартное Время — UTC-5;
  • CEST — Центральноевропейское Летнее Время — UTC+2;
  • CET — Центральноевропейское Стандартное Время — UTC+1;
  • PT — Северноамериканское Тихоокеанское Время — UTC/GMT -8:00;
  • PST — Северноамериканское Тихоокеанское Стандартное Время — UTC-8.

AM и PM: учимся определять время

Сегодня раз и навсегда узнаем, что означают am и pm в английском языке, как расшифровываются эти сокращения и как правильно называть по ним время.

В чем разница между am и pm?

AM и PM — это сокращения, использующиеся для обозначения времени суток. Оба они пришли в английский из латинского языка.

AM (ante meridiem) — до полудня PM (post meridiem) — после полудня

Их можно встретить в странах, где принят двенадцатичасовой формат времени. К таким относится Канада, США, Новая Зеландия и Филиппины. Совместно с общепринятым 24-часовым форматом, 12-часовой используется также в Великобритании, Бразилии и ряде других стран. В них можно обозначать время любыми способами. В остальных странах принят двадцатичетырехчасовой формат времени, хорошо нам знакомый.

12-ти часовой формат разбивает сутки (24 часа) на два отрезка по двенадцать часов.

Мы используем a.m., когда говорим об интервале с 12 часов ночи (полночи) и до 12 часов дня (полдень). То есть с 00:00 до 12:00.

Например: It’s two a.m. — Два часа ночи (2:00). It’s five a.m. — Пять утра (5:00). It’s ten a.m. — Десять утра (10:00). He comes at 9 a.m. — Он приходит в 9 утра. The train leaves at 11 a.m. — Поезд уходит в 11 утра.

p.m. используем, когда говорим об интервале с 12 часов дня (полудня) до 12 часов ночи (полночи). То есть с 12:00 до 00:00.

Например: It’s two p.m. — Два часа дня (14:00). It’s five p.m. — Пять вечера (17:00). It’s ten p.m. — Десять вечера (22:00). We met at 11 p.m. — Мы встретились в 11 вечера. The train leaves at 11 p.m. — Поезд уходит в 11 вечера.

Полдень и полночь

Несмотря на международные стандарты обозначения 12-часового формата — до сих пор нет однозначности между обозначением такого коварного времени, как «полдень» и «полночь».

Некоторые указывают полдень как «12 a.m.» («12 ante meridiem», или «12 часов до середины дня»). По этой логике полночь также можно обозначать как «12 p.m.» (12 post meridiem или 12 часов после предыдущей середины дня).

Национальный морской музей Гринвича предлагает обозначать полночь как «12 часов ночи», а полдень — как «12 часов дня». А многие американские сертифицированные руководства по стилю предлагают обозначать полночь в формате 11.59 p.m., чтобы подчеркнуть конец одних суток, а вот начало следующего дня уже обозначить как 12.01 a.m..

Эта рекомендация часто применяется для расписаний движений транспорта и юридических сделок в США.

Кстати, именно из-за сложностей в понимании и определении времени по 12-часовому формату, армия США еще со времен Второй мировой войны использует 24-часовой формат, который позволяет избежать ошибок в навигации и обозначения времени военных действий.

Если сомневаетесь в том, как правильно указать это время суток — откажитесь от цифр и скажите полным словом:

Midday — полдень Midnight — полночь

Больше информации о том, как говорить о времени суток в английском языке, вы найдете в этой статье: What time is it?

Как правильно писать и употреблять am и pm?

Можно встретить несколько вариантов написания 12-часового формата времени:

> С точками: a.m. и p.m. > Без точек: am и pm > Прописью: AM и PM

Наиболее верный вариант из трех — написание с точками, но часто можно встретить и два других. В любом случае, эти обозначения ставятся после цифр, как и известные всем o’clock.

Очень часто сокращения am и pm встречаются на электронных часах, во времени работы предприятия, а также, в расписании движения транспорта или занятий.

Например, если вы увидите надпись «The office is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.», она будет означать, что часы работы офиса — с 9 утра до 6 вечера.

Кроме того, будьте внимательны, когда назначаете встречу и убедитесь, что ваш собеседник правильно понял оговоренное время.

Примеры предложений с am и pm с переводом

It’s eight thirty PM — Сейчас восемь тридцать вечера.

We must send this letter at 2 a.m. — Мы должны отправить это письмо в два часа ночи.

Tomorrow I’ll wake up at 6 am, not later — Завтра я проснусь в шесть утра, не позже.
