题目

假如今天是星期一,next Saturday是本周六还是下周六?
英文的next saturday跟中文表达习惯不一样吗?
我的法国老板老喜欢把本周几（未来的时间）说成next ***,而不是this ***

第二个人的看法：
In the past I've wondered if this was the same in the US as here in the UK.People say "this Friday" meaning "this coming Friday" or "Friday of this week".For me,"next Friday" is "the next Friday to come along",i.e.March 25th.But for some other people it means "Friday of next week".So it's always best to confirm which one the speaker means.

答案

你的老板是对的.英语中next表示“紧接...时间后的下一个”,next Saturday是指说这话之后的第一个Saturday.如果今天是星期一,next Saturday就是指本周六；如果今天是星期六,next Saturday就指下周六.
