for a moment是在修飾keepingXXX a secret,這段短語(yǔ)。

他們有自己的原因,將他們倆婚姻的那一刻保守秘密。
點(diǎn)評(píng):這里for the moment可理解為某某事件的那一顆,即短時(shí)間的意思。不過(guò),全句并不通順,寫(xiě)成如下較為通順,但意思又變了。
They have their reasons for keeping their marriage a secret down/solely for the moment.

38. more than a year, more than one year
more than a year 一年多,more than one year 超過(guò)一年(兩年或三年等)
這兩句話(huà)其實(shí)在意思上沒(méi)有什么不同,但一般英語(yǔ)用法上,會(huì)比較趨向于用 one year,因?yàn)檫@樣可以強(qiáng)調(diào) 是一年。
a 是一個(gè)不定冠詞,只是一個(gè)語(yǔ)法上的搭配,而one呢,則是一個(gè)數(shù)量詞,用在表示“一…”上。
一般,你用一個(gè)可數(shù)名詞,固定搭配是你用單數(shù)時(shí),前面都必須有a/an/the,這是可數(shù)名詞單獨(dú)出現(xiàn)的情況。比如,一般,說(shuō)蘋(píng)果,翻譯的時(shí)候是an apple,以這樣的形式出現(xiàn)在句子里。
而,當(dāng)你要強(qiáng)調(diào)只是一個(gè)蘋(píng)果而已是,則必須用one apple.
Example:
1)Here is an apple.這里有蘋(píng)果。
2)Here is one apple.這里有一個(gè)蘋(píng)果。
