for days on end的意思：很多天for many days的另一種英文說法

第一次聽到出處：Sherlock, A Study in Pink

Sherlock: How do you feel about the violin?
John: Sorry, what?
Sherlock: I play the violin when I’m thinking. Sometimes I don’t talk for days on end. Would that bother you? Potential flatmates should know the worst about each other. (很多天都不講話我可能內心話會多到炸吧)

外國人說很多天為什麼要用for days on end咧？

我怎麼知道…><

就像是我們會說很多天，但也會說「超多天」，其中有些許趣味，就得要用體會的了...
