📘 发音:/ˌeɪ ˈdiː/

📘 词性:缩写 abbrev.

📘 中文释义:公元(纪年)

🔹 一、定义(Oxford 定义)

A.D. (abbreviation)

used before a date to show that it is in the period since the birth of Christ

📘 中文释义:

用于年份前,表示纪年系统中“耶稣基督诞生之后的时代”,即公元。

📘 解释说明:

A.D. 表示 “in the year of the Lord”(主的年份),源自拉丁语 Anno Domini Nostri Iesu Christi —— “在我们的主耶稣基督的年份”。

🔹 二、用法(Usage Rules)

用法

示例

中文说明

放在年份前面(传统英式/学术用法)

A.D. 2025

公元 2025 年

放在年份后面(现代常见写法)

2025 AD

公元 2025 年

与 B.C.(公元前)相对

400 B.C. – A.D. 500

公元前 400 年至公元 500 年

在正式历史或学术写作中可替换为 CE / BCE

500 CE = A.D. 500, 500 BCE = 500 B.C.

CE / BCE 为中性表达(Common Era)

📘 注意:

传统上,A.D. 写在数字前(如 A.D. 1066),但现代英语中放在后面也常见(1066 AD)。 在正式学术论文、考古、宗教学中,推荐使用 CE(Common Era) 代替,以避免宗教色彩。
