词语用法

n. (名词)

1. event的基本意思是“事件”,可指历史上的、国际的、国家的或社会的重大事件,也可指日常的小事件。event是可数名词,其复数形式有时还可指“事态的发展”“时局”。
2. event还可作体育运动的“比赛项目”解,是可数名词。

词义辨析

n. (名词)

event, accident, incident

• 这组名词的共同意思是“事件”,其区别是：
• 1.accident是偶然发生的; incident是附属于偶发事件的; 而event则不一定是偶然的。
• 2.accident在没有happy, lucky这类词修饰时,多指不幸事件; 而incident和event则不一定是不幸的。
• 3.incident指日常小事或不太重要的事件; 而accident则多指涉及人命的大事,但不用于政治事件。试比较下面两句:
• Being late for school is an incident, not an accident.
• 上学迟到是小事情,不是大事故。
• Being hit by a car is an accident, not an incident.被汽车撞了是大事故,不是 小事情。
• 如果把accident和incident连用,这种差异就更明显了。例如:
• Accidents are becoming incidents on this railway.这条铁路上事故已成家常便饭。
• 须注意的是incident有时也指大事,但多指在政治上、军事上、外交上可能导致争端或战争的事件。例如:
• It was a frontier incident.这是一次边境事件。
• 4.event也可指日常小事,但主要指重要的事件(国家的、社会的、边界的等)。例如:This is one of the chief events of this year.这是本年度大事之一。

event, fact

• 两者区别在于:
• 1.fact的意思是“事实”,以区别于想象或虚构的事物。例如:
• Most of his ideas can be rendered down to a system of thinking based on outdated facts.他的大多数观点都可归纳在一个基于过时的论据的思想体系里。
• 2.event也可指日常小事,但主要指重要的事件(国家的、社会的、边界的等)。例如:
• It was quite an event when a woman first became prime minister.妇女首次当上了首相的确是件大事。
• Two events received public attention during the month.这一个月中有两件大事引起了公众的注意。
• Events proved the folly of such calculations.事情的进展证明了这种估计是愚蠢的。

accident，incident，event，occurrence，happening

• 这些名词均有“事故、事件”之意。
• accident强调偶然或意外发生的不幸事情。
• incident既可指小事件或附带事件，又可指政治上具有影响的事件或事变。
• event可指任何大小事件，但尤指历史上的重大事件。
• occurrence多指日常生活中发生的一般事件，有时也指偶然发生的事。
• happening与occurrence相似，多指日常生活中发生的一般事件，有时也指偶然发生的事。

词源解说

• ☆ 16世纪70年代进入英语，直接源自中古法语的event；最初源自古典拉丁语的evenire：ex (出） + venire (来），意为发生的事，结果。
