Thrice means three times. It is the old partner of "once" and "twice" — English kept the first two and quietly dropped the third.

Thrice「thrice」 means three times意思是三次。 It is the old partner of "once" and "twice"它是「once」和「twice」以前的老搭檔 — English kept the first two英文留下了前面兩個, and quietly dropped the third卻悄悄丟掉了第三個。

Nobody says thrice in ordinary conversation today; a native speaker says "three times." You meet thrice in old writing, in the Bible (Peter denying Jesus thrice), in Shakespeare, and in fixed phrases like "thrice-blessed" or "thrice as much." Modern writers use it on purpose to sound old, formal, playful, or a bit grand.

Nobody says thrice現在沒有人會說 thrice in ordinary conversation today在日常對話裡; a native speaker母語者 says "three times."會說「three times」。 You meet thrice你會 in old writing在古老的文章裡遇到 thrice, in the Bible在聖經裡 (Peter denying Jesus thrice)（彼得三次不認耶穌）, in Shakespeare在莎士比亞的作品裡, and in fixed phrases like "thrice-blessed" or "thrice as much."還有在「thrice-blessed（三倍有福）」或「thrice as much（三倍之多）」這類固定說法裡。 Modern writers現代作家 use it on purpose刻意使用它 to sound old, formal, playful, or a bit grand來營造古老、正式、俏皮，或有點氣派的感覺。

One real exception: in Indian English thrice is alive and normal — many speakers in India say "I called him thrice" the way others say "three times," and that is correct English in that variety. So the honest answer is: dead in Britain and America, healthy in India, and always available if you want an antique flavour.

One real exception真正的例外是: in Indian English在印度英語裡 thrice is alive and normal「thrice」還活著，而且很正常 — many speakers in India很多印度人 say "I called him thrice"會說「I called him thrice」 the way others say "three times,"就像其他人會說「three times」一樣, and that is correct English in that variety而這在那個英語變體裡是正確的用法。 So所以 the honest answer老實說 is: dead in Britain and America是: 在英國和美國已經死了, healthy in India在印度卻活得好好的, and always available if you want an antique flavour而如果你想要一點古味，隨時都可以用。
