這是個好問題。 first thing用來表示清晨。有一種最重要的感覺。示例: I usually check my phone first thing. (你要做的第一件事就是檢查你的手機。) the first thing通常用來表示你做的第一件事。示例: The first thing you should do in an exam is to read the question carefully. (參加考試時,你應該做的第一件事是仔細閱讀的問題。)兩個a first thing和first thing's是語法不正確。我想我在調查中the first thing但是你不能the a first thing's ,應該記住撇號用於表示所有格。所以使用撇號意味著thing first ,它在語法上沒有意義。您可能對“ first things first這一表達感到困惑,這意味著您必須先做最重要的事情。示例: I know you're eager to start shopping, but first things first —— you need to figure out how much you can afford to spend我應該花多少錢。)
