Noun:
a period of fourteen consecutive days;most major tennis tournaments last a fortnight 从词形来看fortnight释义为“十四日”或“两星期”，确实使人有点不可理解。追根溯源，fort乃fourteen之缩略，而fortnight原为两个词，中世纪英语作fourtennicht，古英语作feowertiene niht，相当于今天的fourteen nights十四夜。fortnight正是由此演变缩略而来的。英语尚有一词sennight／se'nnight相当于seven nights，意为“七天”，在结构上同它非常相似。这两个词的历史至少和书面英语一样悠久。从日落开始算一天的习惯古已有之。古希腊人、巴比伦人、波斯人和希伯来人均有这种习惯，而这种以夜不以日计量时间的表达方式则被认为来源于古时的德国。我们在《圣经》《旧约·创世纪》中就可找到evening先于morning排列的英语短语：“The evening and the morning were the first day…”现在sennight在整个英语世界已经废弃不用，而fortnight在英国仍十分通用，但美国人一般代之以two weeks，只是在受过教育的人当中还偶而可以听到。
