| 释义 | 〔between〕According to a widely repeated but unjustified tradition,“between is used for two, and among for more than two.” It is true thatbetween is the only choice when exactly two entities are specified: the choice between (not among ) good and evil, the rivalry between (not among ) Great Britain and France. When more than two entities are involved, however, or when the number of entities is unspecified,the choice of one or the other word depends on the intended sense.Between is used when the entities are considered as distinct individuals; among, when they are considered as a mass or collectivity. Thus in the sentenceThe bomb landed between the houses, the houses are seen as points that define the boundaries of the area of impact (so that we presume that none of the individual houses was hit). InThe bomb landed among the houses, the area of impact is considered to be the general location of the houses, taken together (in which case it is left open whether any houses were hit). By the same token, we may speak ofa series of wars between the Greek cities, which suggests that each city was an independent belligerent, or ofa series of wars among the Greek cities, which allows as well the possibility that the belligerents were shifting alliances of cities. For this reason,among is most appropriate to indicate inclusion in a group: 根据重复多次但没什么根据的传统看法，“between 用于两者之间，而 among 用于二者以上。” 当只提到两个实体时，between 确实是唯一的选择： the choice between （而不用 among ） good and evil（善与恶之间的选择），the rivalry between （不用 among ） Great Britain and France（英法间的对抗）。 当牵涉到两个以上实体时，如果实体的数目不确定，选择其中之一则取决于倾向性。当实体被看作不同的个体时用between ； 当其被看作整体或集合时用among 。 因此在句子The bomb landed between the houses 中，房屋被看作一个限定了中弹地区的界限（ 所以我们假设一所所单独的房子未被击中）。在The bomb landed among the houses 中，被中弹地区被看作是房屋的整体地区（ 在这种情形下房屋是否被击中并未说明）。同样的表示法，我们可以说a series of wars between the Greek cities， 表示每个城市是独立的参战者，我们也可以说a series of wars among the Greek cities， 表示存在某些城市做为联合参战者的可能性。 因此，among 最适合表示包括在一群成一组人之内： 〔market〕A subdivision of a population considered as buyers:顾客分布的范围：人口中被看作是购买者的那一部分：〔Carducci〕Italian poet considered the national poet of modern Italy. He won the 1906 Nobel Prize for literature.卡尔杜齐，吉奥苏：(1835-1907) 意大利诗人，被看作是现代意大利民族诗人，曾获1906年度诺贝尔文学奖〔canonry〕Canons considered as a group.教士总称：被看作一个群体的教士们〔film〕Movies considered as a group.影片：被看作是一组的电影〔balladry〕Ballads considered as a group.民谣总称：被看作一组的民谣〔feminine〕 Feminine as the opposite ofmasculine often refers to what is considered characteristic of women: Feminine 与masculine 相对，通常指被看作是有女人特性的东西： 〔grammar〕The system of rules implicit in a language, viewed as a mechanism for generating all sentences possible in that language.语法规则：隐含在一种语言中的规则体系，被看作在该语言中生成所有可能的语句的机制〔langue〕Language viewed as a system including vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation of a particular community.语言：被看作由特定人群使用的包括单词、语法和发音的语言系统〔jezebel〕A woman who is regarded as evil and scheming.恶毒女人：被看作邪恶和诡诈的妇女〔kudos〕Kudos is one of those words like congeries that look like pluralsbut are etymologically singular:correctness requiresKudos is (not are ) due her for her brilliant work on the score. Some writers have tried to defend the use ofkudos with a plural verb, or even the introduction of a new singular form ofkudo, on the grounds that these innovations follow the pattern whereby the English words pea and cherry were re-formed from nouns ending in-s that were thought to be plural. Perhaps the singularkudo would have to be acknowledged as a legitimate formation if it came to be widely adopted in the popular language in the way that cherry and pea have. But at presentkudos is still regarded as a slightly pretentious variant for praise and can scarcely claim to be part of the linguistic folkways of the community.When writers reach for an unfamiliar Greek word for the sake of elegance,it is fair to ask that they get it right.Still, it is worth notingthat even people who are carefulto treat the word syntactically as a singularoften pronounce it as if it were a plural:etymology would require that the final consonant be pronounced as a voiceless (s),rather than as a voiced (z).Kudos 和 congeries 那些词一样， 看上去好象是复数，但从词源上看是单数：因此正确的用法应该是Kudos is （不是 are ） due her for her brilliant work on the score 。 许多作者为kudos 后跟动词复数形式的做法辩护， 他们甚至发明了一个新的词kudo 作为该词的单数形式，他们这样做是以英语单词 pea 和 cherry 的形成模式为依据的， 这些词都是从原先结尾带-s 的复数形式名词演化而来。 kudo 这种单数形式只有在象 cherry 和 pea 这样为大众语言所普遍接受之后才能被认可为一种正确的形式。 但是现在kudos 这个词仍被看作是 praise 这个词稍稍有些做作的变体， 还很难成为社群的习惯用语的一部份。当一个作家为了行文的优雅用一个生僻的希腊词的时候，他应该正确地使用它。但是值得注意的是，即使是那些非常仔细的人，他们在句子中把它用作单数，但在读的时候却读成复数的形式：根据词源来看，这个词最后一个辅音应该发成清辅音（s），而不是浊辅音（z）〔deaf〕Deaf people considered as a group.聋子：被看作一个群体的所有聋人〔horseflesh〕Horses considered as a group, especially for driving, riding, or racing.（总称）马：被看作一个群体的马，特别是用于拖运东西，骑用或比赛用的马〔whatever〕Bothwhatever and what ever can be used in sentences such as Whatever (or What ever ) made her say that? Critics have occasionally objected to the one-word form,but it is supported by extensive precedent in reputable writing.The same is true of the formswhoever, whenever, wherever, and however when these expressions are used similarly. In adjectival uses only the one-word form is used:Take whatever (not what ever ) books you need. ? When a clause beginning withwhatever is the subject of a sentence, no comma should be used: Whatever you do is right. Otherwise, a comma may be used:Whatever you do, don't burn the toast. ? When the phrase preceding a restrictive clause is introduced bywhichever or whatever, that should not be used in formal writing. It is regarded as incorrect to writewhatever book that you want to look at; one should write insteadWhatever book you want to look at will be sent to your office or Whichever book costs less (not that costs less ) is fine with us. See Usage Note at however ,that whatever 和 what ever 这两个词都可用在例如 Whatever （或 What ever ) made her say that?（究竟是什么使得她说那样的话?） 这样的句子里。 批评家们经常反对单一词形，但有声望作品的大量先例却支持了单词形式。同样地，当whoever, whenever, wherever 及 however 这些表述被用于类似情况时，其情形也是如此。 用作定语时只用单词形式：Take whatever （不是 what ever ） books you need。（拿那些你要的书） ？ whatever 为句首的从句作句子主语时，不能用逗号： Whatever you do is right（无论你做什么都是对的）。 在其他情况可以用逗号：Whatever you do, don't burn the toast（不管你做什么，不要烤糊了吐司） ? 当先于一限定性从句的短语是由whichever 或 whatever引入时， that不能用在正式文体中。 这样的句子：whatever book that you want to look at（无论哪本你想看的书） 是被看作不正确的； 相反应该是Whatever book you want to look at will be sent to your office（你想看的任何一本书都将会送到你的办公室去） 或者 Whichever book costs less （不是 that costs less ) is fine with us（花费少一些的书比较适合我们） 参见 however,that〔par〕An amount or a level considered to be average; a standard:常规，常态：一种被看作是平均水准的量或水平；一般标准：〔crown〕considered the rare Turkish stamp the crown of their collection.把这枚罕见的土耳其邮票被看作是他们收藏品中的极品〔sly〕Under the façade of morality and patriotism can be perceived the false and tricky political opportunist that he is.从道德和爱国心来看，他能被看作是一个虚伪奸诈的政治投机者。〔bosom〕The chest considered as the source of emotion.胸怀：被看作是情感来源的胸膛〔Neogaea〕A region that is coextensive with the Neotropical region and is considered one of the primary biogeographic realms.新热带区：与新热带地区有相同范围的地区，被看作是原始的生物地理分布区之一〔what〕Whenwhat is the subject of a clause, it may be construed as singular or plural, depending on the sense.It is singular when taken as the equivalent ofthat which or the thing which, as inI see what seems to be a dead tree; and it is plural when it is taken as the equivalent ofthose which or the things which, as inHe sometimes makes what seem to be gestures of aloofness. ? When awhat clause is itself the subject of a sentence, it may be construed as singular or plural,but the conditions governing this choice are somewhat more complicated.In general, awhat clause will be taken as a plural when the clause contains an explicit indication of its own plurality. There are two principal cases.First, the clause is plural ifwhat is the subject of the clause and the verb of the clause is itself plural: What seem to be two dead trees are blocking the road. What most surprise me are the inflammatory remarks at the end of his article. If the verb in thewhat clause does not anticipate the plural sense of the predicate in this way, a singular verb is generally used in the main clause as well,though the plural is sometimes found:What truly commands respect is (sometimes are ) a large navy and a resolute foreign policy. Second, thewhat clause is treated as plural when its predicate contains a plural noun phrase that unambiguously establishes the plurality of the clause as a whole, as inWhat traditional grammarians called "predicates" are called "verb phrases" by modern linguists. What the Romans established as military outposts were later to become important trading centers. In the absence of explicit plural marking of either of these types in a subjectwhat clause, the clause is usually treated as singular for the purposes of agreement, regardless of the sense:What she held in her lap was four kittens. What the apparent diamonds turned out to be was paste. In some cases, however, a clause withwhat as the subject may be treated as singular or plural, depending on a subtle distinction of sense. InWhat excite him most are money and power, the implication is that money and power are distinct elements; inWhat excites him most is money and power, the implication is that money and power are taken as constituting a single entity.See Usage Note at which 当what 作为从句中的主语时， 它既可被当作单数也可以为复数，这取决于词义。当被看作是that which 或 the thing which 时它就是单数， 如在I see what seems to be a dead tree（我看到个象棵死树的物体）” 这句话中； 当它被用作those which 或 the things which 的对应词时它是复数， 如在He sometimes makes what seem to be gestures of aloofness（他有时做一些似乎很超然的手势） 中。 当what 从句本身是句子的主语时， 它可被当作单数或复数，但决定这种选择的条件略为复杂些。总体上说，what 从句的含有对其数性明确指示时，它就可以将当作复数。 这有两种最主要的情况：首先，如果what 是从句的主语而该从句的谓语动词本身是复数，从句就是复数： What seem to be two dead trees are blocking the road.（象两棵死树的物体挡着路）； What mostsurprise me are the inflammatory remarks at the end of his article.（最令我吃惊的是他文章结尾处的煽动性言词） 。 如果what 从句的谓语动词并不预示谓语是复数， 主句中通常也用单数动词，尽管有时也可以发现有复数：What truly commands respect is（有时 are ) a large navy and a resolute foreign policy（真正博得尊敬的是强大的海军和坚定的外交政策） ； 其次what 从句在其谓语含有复数名词短语，并且其明显可建立整个从句的复数性时是被当作复数的， 如在What traditional grammarians called "predicates" are called "verb phrases" by modern linguists.（那些传统语法家所称为“谓语”的则被现代语言学家称作“动词短语”） What the Romans established as military outpostswere later to become important trading centers.（那些罗马人设为军事前哨基地的地方后来成为了重要的贸易中心）。 当what 从句主语缺乏这两类明确表示复数性的标记时， 从句通常为了一致性而不顾及词义地被当作单数：What she held in her lap was four kittens.（她抱在膝盖上的是四只小猫）。 What the apparent diamonds turned out to bewas paste.（那些看上去象真的钻石结果却是人造宝石） 。 然而，在一些情况下，以what 作主语的从句可被当单数或复数，取决于语义上微妙的差异。 在What excite him most are money and power（最让他兴奋的是金钱和权力）， 这句话中暗含着金钱和权力是不同的成分； 在What excites him most is money and power（最让他兴奋的是金钱和权力）， 这句话中暗含着金钱和权力是作为构成一个单一整体的成分 参见 which〔sonorant〕A voiced consonant regarded as a syllabic sound, as the last sound in the wordsudden. 响音：被看作是浊音节发音的辅音，如sudden 这个单词最后一个音所示 〔happenstance〕"Marriage loomed only as an outgrowth of happenstance; you met a person"(Bruce Weber)“婚姻被看作是一种偶然情况的发展，那就是你遇到了一个人”(布鲁斯·韦伯)〔palladium〕A safeguard, especially one viewed as a guarantee of the integrity of social institutions:保障：保卫，尤指被看作保证社会机关廉正的人：〔circumstance〕Use of the idiomunder the circumstances is justified by both logic and reputable precedent,and objections to it must be accounted at best overfussy if not also,as H.W. Fowler put it, "puerile.”习语under the circumstances 的使用， 由逻辑和规范的先例两者来证明为正确，否则对于此点的反对至少会被看作过于咬文嚼字，正如福勒所评价的“幼稚”〔father〕Chaucer is considered the father of English poetry.乔叟被看作是英国诗歌之父〔livelihood〕Maintenance, support, andkeep are usually reckoned as the equivalent in money of what is needed to supply necessities such as food, lodging, and clothing: Maintenance, supprot 和keep 常被看作是提供食物、住宿和衣物等生活必需品所需的钱： 〔architect〕a country considered to be the chief architect of war in the Middle East.在中东国家被看作战争的主要策划者〔masterful〕According to a widely repeated dictum,masterful should be reserved for the sense "imperious, domineering,” as ina masterful tone of voice, whereasmasterly should be the choice when the intended sense is "having the skill of a master,” as ina masterly performance of the sonata. The distinction is a nicety that some writers will want to continue to observe.But the use ofmasterful in the latter sense has long been common in reputable writing and cannot be regarded as incorrect.根据广为强调的权威意见，masterful 应限于“支配的、专横的”的含义。 例如，一种专横傲慢的语调， 而如果想指“具备精通者的技艺”，则应该选用masterly 。 例如，一场奏鸣曲的精湛演出 。 一些作家会继续遵守这个细微区别。但在后一种含义上使用masterful 在一些享有声望的作品中也一直常见， 因此不能被看作是不准确的〔Debussy〕French composer who is considered the first exponent of musical impressionism. His works include the tone poemL'Après-midi d'un Faune (1894). 德布西，克劳德·阿希礼：(1862-1918) 法国作曲家，被看作是印象派音乐的奠基人，其作品包括管弦乐曲《午后牧神前奏曲》 （1894年） 〔sib〕A person's relatives considered as a group; kinfolk.亲族：被看作一群体的一个人的亲戚；亲属〔Messiah〕messiah A leader who is regarded as or professes to be a savior or liberator. messiah 解救者：被看作是或自称为救世主或解放者的领导人〔city〕The inhabitants of a city considered as a group.全市居民：被看作一个群体的一个城市的居住者〔epitome〕"He is seen . . . as the epitome of the hawkish, right-of-center intellectual"(Paul Kennedy)“他被看作是鹰派的自我为中心的知识分子的典型”(保罗·肯尼迪)〔lifeblood〕Blood regarded as essential for life.生命之血：被看作是生命之所在的血液〔rich〕Wealthy people considered as a group. Often used withthe : 有钱人：被看作一个整体的富有的人。常与the 连用： 〔ceremonious〕"Putting on a hat can be a ceremonious act, an elegant gesture in the ritual of dressing"(Ruth La Ferla)“戴帽子被看作一种礼节性的举动，是着装仪式上一个优雅的举动”(露丝·拉·费拉)〔escape〕This usage is well establishedand should be regarded as standard.这个用法很有可能被确定下来，将来也许会被看作是标准用法〔shamrock〕Any of several plants, such as a clover or wood sorrel, having compound leaves with three small leaflets, considered the national emblem of Ireland.酢浆草：任一种如三叶草或酸木的植物，生有三片小叶的复叶，被看作爱尔兰的国花〔wolf〕One that is regarded as predatory, rapacious, and fierce.暴徒：被看作抢劫的、掠夺的和凶猛的人〔discomfit〕It is true thatdiscomfit originally meant "to defeat, frustrate,” and that its newer use meaning "to embarrass, disconcert,”probably arose in part through confusion withdiscomfort. But the newer sense is now the most common use of the verb in all varieties of writingand should be considered entirely standard.discomfit 起初确实意为“打败，挫败”， 该词的新意义是“使困窘，使窘迫”，这个词义的生成部分原因，可能是由于和discomfort 的混淆引起。 但是新的词义现在在各种写作中是该动词的最普遍的用法，应被看作是完全标准的 |
