用法模式：
[someone/something] stays/keeps [something] overnight (in [a place])
常见错误：
Learners sometimes say *"in the overnight"* or *"at the overnight"*. Do not use a preposition before "overnight" in this sense. Say "We stayed overnight," not *"We stayed in overnight."* Also, "overnight" comes after the verb: "stay overnight," not usually *"overnight stay"* when it's an adverb.

2
very quickly or suddenly
Very quickly and often in a surprising way, as if it happens in one night.
用法模式：
[something] changes/happens overnight
常见错误：
Learners sometimes think this always means literally "in one night." In this sense, "overnight" often means "very quickly" in general, not exactly during the night. Also, do not say *"in overnight"*; say "change overnight," not *"change in overnight."*
近义词
suddenly (Very close in meaning; focuses slightly more on the shock than on speed.)
|
rapidly (Stresses speed; less emphasis on surprise than "overnight" often has.)
反义词
gradually (Describes slow change over time, the opposite of quick or sudden change.)
|
slowly (Focuses on low speed, contrasting with the fast change implied by "overnight".)

for or during one night
For one night, or used during the night.
用法模式：
an overnight [stay/trip/flight/guest/bag]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes use an article incorrectly, saying *"a overnight bag"* instead of "an overnight bag." Because "overnight" starts with a vowel sound, use "an." Also, this adjective comes before the noun: "an overnight stay," not *"a stay overnight"* when used as an adjective.
近义词
one-night (Very close in meaning but used mainly before nouns, as in "one-night stay" or "one-night trip".)
反义词
daytime (Relating to the day rather than the night.)
|
long-term (Describes something continuing for a long period, not just a single night.)

becoming successful or changing quickly
Describing success or change that happens very fast and often in a surprising way.
用法模式：
an overnight [success/sensation/change]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes think "overnight" here must involve the literal night. In this sense, it just means very fast and often surprising. Also, do not say *"success overnight"* as a noun phrase; use "an overnight success" or "become successful overnight."
近义词
sudden (Almost the same in many cases, but "overnight" often hints at a very short time and an element of surprise.)
|
instant (Stresses extreme quickness; can sound more dramatic or promotional than "overnight.")
反义词
gradual (Describes slow, step-by-step change, the opposite of quick or sudden success or change.)
