the other day 的用法

the other day

Answer 1

这是一个短语，意思是“几天前”，等于a few days ago. 有时也指过去不确定的某一天。
我们还可以说：the other night, the other week, etc.

Examples:
1. I fell across a friend of mine in the Friendship Department Store the other day.
前几天我在友谊商店偶然遇见了我的一位朋友。
2. I saw your friend the other day.
前几天我看到过你的朋友。
3. I am calling about what we discussed the other day.
我打电话是为了前几天我们所讨论的事。
4. Helen borrowed my book the other day, saying that she would return it soon.

8. The other day I called my classmate,and he said that he was ill in bed.
9. It was Mary and Dick who gave me these things the other day.

[附] 偶尔我们也能见到 in other day 的说法，它不能算作是短语，相当于中文的“换一天”、“改天”吧，用在一般将来时的句子里。
