词义讲解

词源解说

n.(名词)

substance, material, matter, stuff

这组词都可表示“物质”。其区别在于:

1.matter泛指构成客观物体或宇宙的所有物质。在物理学上指由很少的几种基本粒子构成的物质; 在哲学上则指与mind(意识)相对的物质。例如:

Matter occupies space.物质占据空间。

2.stuff, material和substance都可指构成或制作某物的材料或零件, material特指人造制品的制作原料, substance则指某种可使某物具有某种特性的特殊物质。例如:

Hope is the stuff that dreams are made of.希望正是构成理想的材料。

The tips of matches are covered with chemical substance.火柴头上包着一层化学物质。

3.material还可指文学创作的素材,而其他的词却无此义。例如:

He is now collecting material for a biography of Du Fu.他正在为写作杜甫传记而收集资料。

4.stuff是日常用语,不用于科技文体中,而其他的词则可用作科技术语。例如:

He was told to move his stuff out of the room.人家叫他把他的东西搬出房间去。

☆ 1300年左右进入英语，直接源自古法语的substance；*初源自拉丁语的substantia（substare的现在分词）：sub (从下向上） + stare (站立），意为牢牢站立。
