However, this usage was accepted by 71 percent of the Usage Panel in an earlier survey.What is more, objection to the usage betrays a widespread but questionable assumptionthat it is in mathematics and logic that we find the model of accuracy most appropriate to the everyday use of language,a supposition that also underlies traditional grammatical discussions of words such asunique, parallel, and center. According to this account,the "precise" or "literal" meaning ofequal is realized in the use of the equal sign in an arithmetic expression such as 5 + 2 = 7; and the ordinary-language uses of the term,though they may be permissible,represent "loose" or "imprecise" extensions of that sense.But in fact the mathematical concept of equality is a poor model for using the wordequal to describe relations between things in the world. As applied to such things,statements of equality are always relative to an implicit standard of tolerance.When someone saysThe two boards are of equal length, we assume that the equality is reckoned to some order of approximation determined by the context;if we did not,we would be required always to usenearly equal when speaking of the dimensions of physical objects. What is more,we often want to predicate equality of things that do not admit of quantitative measurement,as when we sayThe college draft was introduced in an effort to make the teams in the National Football League as equal as possible, orThe candidates for the job should all be given equal consideration. In all such cases,equality is naturally a gradient notionand so is amenable to modification in degree.This much is evident from the existence of the wordunequal. The prefixun- attaches only to gradient adjectives: we sayunmanly but not unmale; and the worduneven can be applied to a surface (whose evenness may be a matter of degree) but not to a number (whose evenness is an either-or affair). ·The adverbequally is generally regarded as redundant when used in combination with as, and the following examples employingequally as were termed unacceptable by 63 percent of the Usage Panel in an earlier survey: 单词equal 一向被认为是一个很绝对的词语—— 两个数量要么相同要么不同——这样就不能有程度上的差别。所以，如果有人说在各部门间对资源更公平的分配 ，那么就不合逻辑了。 但是这种用法在早先的用法调查中被百分之七十一用法使用小组的人接受。而且，对这种用法的反对体现出了一种很流行但却值得怀疑的假设，那就是我们从数学和逻辑中得出适用于日常语言准确性的实例，而这种假设也可从我们对一些词，如unique，parallel 和 center 传统的语法讨论中体现出来。 根据这个解释，equal “准确”或“书面”的意思则是由在算术表达式，如5+2=7中所运用的相同的符号而表达清楚的； 而该词在日常语言中的用法，虽然被允许，但却代表了其含意“松散”或“不严谨”的引申。但是实际上用数学概念上的相等来运用equal 这个词描述世上各种事物之间的关系是一个很差劲的例子。 当该词应用于生活中的事物时，相等的观念往往与暗含的容忍相关联。当有人说两块木板同样长 时， 我们会认为由于上下文的关系，相等可以被看作大约近似；如果我们不这样想，那么当我们谈到物体的尺寸时，就要经常使用nearly equal 。 另外，我们常常会预测和数量无关的事物的相同性，比如我们会说，引入大学的要求是为了使全国足球联合会中的各队尽可能平等 ， 或者应给予该项工作的应征者同等的考虑 。 在所有这些例子中，相等是个可变化的概念，所以可在程度有所不同。Unequal 这个词的存在就是很好的证明。 un- 这个前缀只附加于有程序变化的形容词， 我们说unmanly 但不说 unmale ； 而uneven 这个词只能用于某物的表面（其平坦可有程度上的差别）， 而不能用于数目（数目只能说相等或不相等）。Equally 这一副词在与 as 连用时通常被认为是多余的， 在早先的用法调查中，以下这些使用equally as 的句子遭到百分之六十三使用小组的人反对： 〔more〕Greater in size, amount, extent, or degree:在尺寸、数量、范围或程度上更深的：〔fitting〕The act of trying on clothes whose fit is being adjusted.试穿，试衣：试穿经调整过尺寸的衣服的动作〔footage〕estimated the square footage of new office space.估算新办公室占地的平方尺寸〔small〕Being below the average in size or magnitude.小的：尺寸或大小在平均尺度之下〔tailor〕To make (a garment), especially to specific requirements or measurements.裁制：做（一件衣服），尤指根据特殊要求或尺寸来做的〔regular〕A clothing size designed for persons of average height.一般的尺寸：适合平均身高人穿的衣服尺寸〔magnitude〕Greatness in size or extent:巨大：尺寸或程度上的大：〔overgrow〕To grow beyond normal or usual size.长得过大：长得超过了正常或通常的尺寸〔showcase〕Like other show business jargon,such as the verb use ofpremiere, this usage is properly exempt from criticism; we expect from P.T. Barnum a measure of exaggeration and grammatical license that we might not accept in other kinds of linguistic commerce.But since its inception in the 1940's, the verb has acquired a wider pattern of use.It is applied to the exposure of athletes and to the display of products: 象其它一些商业演出用语一样，如premiere 的这种动词用法一般不会招致批评； 我们希望能从P·T·巴纳姆那里得到一种夸张的尺寸以及一张我们无法在其它形式的语言交流中接受的语法许可证。但是从本世纪四十年代这个动词首次出现以来，它已经获得了更广泛的运用领域。它用来指运动员的亮相以及产品的展示： 〔magnify〕To increase or have the power to increase the size or volume of an image or a sound.放大或具有放大图象尺寸或声音音量的功能〔sumptuous〕Of a size or splendor suggesting great expense; lavish:豪华的，华丽的：在尺寸或华丽的外观上显示出昂贵的；花费奢侈的：〔measurement〕The dimension, quantity, or capacity determined by measuring:测量得的尺寸、数量、容量等：〔enormous〕Stupendous implies size that astounds or defies description: Stupendous 指大小尺寸让人吃惊或超乎描述范围： 〔misfit〕Something of the wrong size or shape for its purpose.不合适：与其所要求的目标尺寸或形状不符的事物〔grand〕Large and impressive in size, scope, or extent; magnificent.宏大的，雄伟的：尺寸、范围或程度大而给人深刻印象的；壮丽雄伟的〔miniature〕A copy or model that represents or reproduces something in a greatly reduced size.缩微模型：重现或代表某物但尺寸已极大地缩小了的复制品或模型〔skeletonize〕To reduce in size or number:精减：在尺寸或数目上的减少：〔undersized〕Of less than normal or sufficient size.小于正常的或足够的尺寸的〔gauge〕The interior diameter of a shotgun barrel as determined by the number of lead balls of a size exactly fitting the barrel that are required to make one pound. Often used in combination:口径：猎枪枪管的内部尺寸，以每磅圆铝弹数目表示，该铅弹恰好能装入枪管。常用于复合词中：〔medium〕A size of paper, usually 18 × 23 inches or 17½ × 22 inches.中号尺寸：纸张的尺寸，通常为18×23英寸或17½ ×22英寸〔vast〕Very great in size, number, amount, or quantity.巨大的：在尺寸、数目、数量或分量上很大的 |
