A century is a period of 100 years. It can also mean one of the numbered periods in history, such as the 18th century or the 21st century.
用法与细微差别
Used most often in history, dates, and long time spans. Be careful with numbering: the years 1901–2000 are the 20th century, not the 19th. In sports, especially cricket, 'a century' also means a score of 100.
