言之有物

1. 词链儿：It's time to XX 到了XX的时候了

⑴ It's time for + n. 该是（干）……的时候了。

⑶ It's time + that clause 时，that可省略，time可由high/about修饰。

从句中的谓语动词有两种形式：可用动词的过去式(be用were)；或者用should + 动词原形（should不能省略)。
此句型为虚拟语气句型，表示“现在某人该做某事了”（含有该事早该去做而未做，现在去做似乎都为时已晚的意思）。

我们该去睡觉了。

活学活用

请用 It's time to XX 随意造句

《父与子》(Father and Son):是英国民谣摇滚歌手Cat Stevens（凯特·斯蒂文斯）的经典温情之作。

歌曲意在表达年轻一辈跟老一辈因观念差距所衍生的代沟以及描绘父子之间难以割舍的亲情。在新西兰电信广告Keep in touch用的就是这首歌曲，讲述了父亲和孩子相处的整个过程，从儿时的蹒跚学步，成年后把酒言欢，到最后只剩儿子一人的形单影只，出门在外，记得和家人保持联络。
