词语用法

词义讲解

常见错误

词源解说

n.(名词)

business的基本意思是指某人为谋利(尤为自己)的“日常工作”或“职业”,引申可表示“职责,事务”。business现在多用来指“商业,生意,贸易”(不可数),引申可表示“商店,商行”(可数)等。business还可用来表示“演员舞台的动作、表情等”,作“怪事,勾当”解时常用作贬义。

business可用于其他名词前作定语。

n.(名词)

business, affair, concern, matter, thing

这组词在含糊地指那些所做的事时意义相近,常可互换。例如：

It is a regretful affair〔business, concern, matter, thing〕.这是一件遗憾的事。

I don't talk to her about private affairs〔business, concerns, matters, things〕.我从不和她谈私事。

它们之间的区别在于：

1.从模糊程度上看, affair＜matter＜thing, thing的词义*不确切,常可用在有意使概念含混不清的场合。例如：

How did you find things in America?你觉得美国怎样?

2.从含义上看, affair强调运行或操作过程,如一道程序,一笔交易,一个行动,一项事业等。business强调职责关系,例如：

It is her business to take good care of the baby.看护好这个婴儿是她的职责。

concern强调利害相关,例如：

It is no concern of mine.此事与我无关。

matter强调必须考虑和处理,例如：

We have a lot of matters to do.我们有许多事情要做。

thing则是一般用语,口语中常表示说话内容预先未考虑好或说话者力图掩饰自己的观点,例如：

I've another thing to talk with you.我还有一件事跟你说。

3.从用法上看, business不能用复数,而affair在指重大的或头绪较多的事务时则需要用复数。

4.从搭配范围上看,与foreign、international、state等词连用时只能用affair,在短语have an affair with sb (与某人有不正当男女关系)中也只能用affair。在指商业上的生意和活动或指“公事”“正事”时只能用business,例如：

It's a pleasure to do business with you.很高兴和你做生意。

Business before pleasure.公事比娱乐要紧。

口语中作“出了毛病”“失常”解时,只能用matter而不能用affair和business,例如：

What's the matter with you?你怎么啦?

在泛指“东西”“物品”时,用affair和thing均可。例如：

And these Tubes were convenient things〔affairs〕.而这地下铁道是非常方便的东西。

n.(名词)

他因事已去伦敦。

误 He has gone to London on a business.

正 He has gone to London on business.

析可说on business(因事),也可说on a little business(因一件小事),但不可说on a business。

误 Her husband is a businessman.

正 Her husband is a man of business.

析 a businessman的意思是“商人”, man of business的意思是“实业家”。

误 Which do you want to do, go to business or become a lawyer?

正 Which do you want to do, go into business or become a lawyer?

析 go to business是“去上班”的意思, go into business才是“经商”的意思。

误 No admittance except in business.

正 No admittance except on business.

析 in business的意思是“经商”, on business才是“因公,因事”的意思。

☆ 直接源自古英语的bisignes，意为关心，关切，生计。
