    Someday means at some time in the future, but you do not know when — and usually you are thinking of a time quite far away. It carries feeling in a way that 'in the future' does not.

    Someday意思是 means at some time in the future在未來的某個時候 but you do not know when但你不知道是什麼時候 and usually you are thinking of a time quite far away而且通常你想的是很遠的以後 It它 carries feeling帶著一種感覺 in a way that 'in the future' does not而"in the future"沒有這種感覺

    When you say 'someday I'll visit Iceland', you are talking about a hope: something you want, that has no date, that may or may not happen. That is why the word is all over songs and speeches — 'someday we'll be together', 'someday things will be better'. It can also carry a warning, said to a child or a friend: 'someday you'll understand why I said no'.

    When you say 'someday I'll visit Iceland'當你說'someday I'll visit Iceland' you are talking about a hope你其實是在講一種盼望 something you want一件你想要的事 that has no date沒有確定日期 that may or may not happen也不一定會發生 That is why所以 the word這個字 is all over songs and speeches在歌曲和演講裡到處都是 'someday we'll be together''someday we'll be together' 'someday things will be better''someday things will be better' It它 can also carry a warning也可以帶著警告的口氣 said to a child or a friend對小孩或朋友說 'someday you'll understand why I said no''someday you'll understand why I said no'

    Two things about how it works. First, it goes with the future, so you need will or going to, not the present: 'someday I will learn to drive'. Second, keep it separate from 'some day' written as two words, which means one particular day that hasn't been chosen yet — 'let's meet some day next week' means one of those seven days, and nobody is dreaming about anything.

    Two things關於它的用法 about how it works有兩件事 First第一 it它 goes with the future是搭配未來式的 so you need will or going to所以要用will或going to not the present而不是現在式 'someday I will learn to drive''someday I will learn to drive' Second第二 keep it separate要把它和 from 'some day' written as two words分開兩個字寫的'some day' which means one particular day那是指某一個特定的日子 that hasn't been chosen yet只是還沒決定是哪一天 'let's meet some day next week''let's meet some day next week' means one of those seven days意思是那七天裡的其中一天 and nobody is dreaming about anything沒有人在幻想什麼

    The one-word spelling started as American and is now normal everywhere, though British writers still often prefer 'one day' for the same meaning.

    The one-word spelling這個連寫的拼法 started as American是從美式英文開始的 and is now normal everywhere現在到處都很常見 though British writers不過英國作家 still often prefer 'one day'還是常常比較喜歡用'one day' for the same meaning表達同樣的意思

    If you want to sound less certain still, 'someday, maybe' is very common. And if you want to sound doubtful about someone else's plan, English has a dry little phrase: 'someday never comes'.

    If you want to sound less certain still如果你想聽起來更不確定 'someday, maybe''someday, maybe' is very common很常見 And if you want to sound doubtful而如果你想表達懷疑 about someone else's plan對別人的計畫 English has a dry little phrase英文有個乾乾的小片語 'someday never comes''someday never comes'

組成由 some「某個」+ day「日子」黏成一個字(英文管這種黏法叫 univerbation,本來寫成兩個字,用久了合起來)。同樣的造法還有 somehow、sometime、somewhere。
