'During' is a preposition indicating when something happens within a time period. It can mean throughout ('during the summer') or at some point within ('I woke up during the night'). Unlike 'for' (duration length), 'during' answers 'when?' not 'how long?'. It's followed by nouns, not verbs.

「during」是一个介词，表示某事在某段时间内发生。它可以表示贯穿整个时期（「during the summer」）或在某个时期内的某个时刻（「I woke up during the night」）。与「for」（持续时间长度）不同，「during」回答「什么时候？」而不是「多长时间？」。它后面跟名词，而不是动词。

«During» es una preposición que indica cuándo sucede algo dentro de un período de tiempo. Puede significar a lo largo de («during the summer») o en algún momento dentro de («I woke up during the night»). A diferencia de «for» (duración), «during» responde «¿cuándo?» no «¿cuánto tiempo?». Le siguen sustantivos, no verbos.

「during」は、ある期間内にいつ何かが起こるかを示す前置詞です。期間全体を通して（「during the summer」）、または期間内のある時点で（「I woke up during the night」）を意味できます。「for」（期間の長さ）とは異なり、「during」は「いつ？」に答え、「どのくらい？」には答えません。動詞ではなく名詞が続きます。

'During'은 특정 기간 내에 어떤 일이 일어나는 시점을 나타내는 전치사입니다. 기간 전체에 걸쳐('during the summer') 또는 그 기간 중 어느 시점에('I woke up during the night') 일어남을 의미할 수 있습니다. 기간의 길이를 나타내는 'for'와 달리, 'during'은 '얼마나 오래?'가 아닌 '언제?'에 답합니다. 뒤에는 동사가 아닌 명사가 옵니다.
