词语用法

词义讲解

词源解说

adj.(形容词)

living作形容词的基本意思是“活着的”,指长久存在,活力经久不衰,可用于人也可用于物,还可用于比喻。living在句中作定语时，既可前置也可后置。引申可作“现存的;在使用中的”“逼真的,生动的”解。

living无比较级和*高级形式。

n.(名词)

living作名词解时，是“生活,生计”的意思,指的是一种谋生的具体方式或手段,是可数名词,常与冠词a连用。

living作“生活方式”解时，是不可数名词,不可加a或the。

adj.(形容词)

living, alive, live

这三个词共同意思是“活着的,活的”。其区别在于:

1.alive多用于人,与dead相对,指“还活着的”,着重于状态; living指没有死、消失,继续存在、活动或起着作用,可修饰人,也可修饰物; 而live指“活的; 真的”,只用于物。

2.alive只用作表语或后置定语; living既可用作定语,又可用作表语; 而live仅用作定语。例如：

He works for his living as a teacher.他靠教书为生。

☆ 直接源自古英语的libban，意为居住在某地。
