Comparing 一时 and 一度
一时 means 'for a short while' or 'temporarily,' describing a momentary state or action. 一度 means 'once' or 'at one time,' referring to a past period or an occurrence that no longer holds. They are not interchangeable; the fixed phrase 一年一度 uses 一度 to mean 'once a year.'
構文
一年一度 + 的 + N
Used to describe an annual event, literally 'one year one time.'
