※ 引述《hstf (马刺赢球就是爽\⊙▽⊙/)》之铭言：
: 网络文章中看到一句话
: I have three years' experience as a mechanical engineer.
: （我有三年的机械工程师工作经验。）
: 请问这里的years为什么后面要'呢?

A "three-year experience" means that you had an experience that lasted three
years. For example: "I lived in France in the 1990s. It was a wonderful
three-year experience".
"This position requires three years' experience" means, as you know, work
experience. Frankly, I dislike this shortening of the proper phrase which is,
in my mind "three years of experience". To make "years'" possessive never
made sense to me although there are others who would disagree with me.
