词语用法

n. (名词)

1. size的基本意思是“大小”,可指尺寸、规模、身材等,也可作“号码,尺码”解,此时是可数名词。size还可作“声望”解,此时是不可数名词。
2. size在表示“大小”这一概念时,可大可小,但是,在没有相应的定语修饰的情况下,它总是偏大。
3. size常与介词of连用,与系动词be连用时,往往省略介词of。
4. size与the right, the same等词连用时,常省去介词of, size前有small, large, medium等词修饰时,介词of多不省略。

v. (动词)

1. size用作及物动词时,可作“依大小排列,依一定的尺寸制造”解。
2. size常与up连用,表示“测定物的大小,估量(人),估计(情况)”解; 也可与down连用,表示“按大小顺序排列”。

词义辨析

n. (名词)

size, bulk

• 这两个词都可指某物在数量、程度、型号上的“大小”。其区别是：
• 1.bulk不指准确的度量,只表示相当大的量; size则相对准确些。例如:
• Great bulk does not always mean great weight.体积大并不意味着分量重。
• 2.size可指“尺寸,号码”, bulk没有这种用法。例如:
• What size shoes do you want?—I want size seven.你要哪号码的鞋子?——我要7号的。

size, volume

• 这两个词都有“大小”“尺寸”或“体积”的意思。其区别是：
• 1.size主要指“尺寸”“规模”或“身材”等的大小或“数量”等的多少; volume指某物所占空间的体积或某容器的容积,还可约定俗成地来表达其他任何东西的度量。例如:
• The sheets are made in several sizes to fit different sizes of bed.这些床单有几种尺寸,以便与大小不同的床配套。
• The volume of this container is 1000 cubic metres.这个集装箱的容量是1000立方米。
• 2.size强调真实准确性; volume强调精确性。例如:
• They decreased the size of the group from 25 to 15.他们把小组的人数从25人减少到15人。
• That is a room with a volume of 30 cubic feet.那是一个30立方英尺的房间。
• 3.volume还可表示声音的高低,而size无此义。例如:
• Turning the knob of a radio one can fade the volume of sound in or out.旋转收音机的旋钮,你就能使音量渐渐增大或减弱。

下面两个句子的意思相同：

• The two boys are (of) the same size.
• The two boys are of a size.
• 这两个男孩子个头一般高。

下面三个句子的意思相同：

• I take a size eight shoe.
• I take size eight shoes.
• I take a size eight in shoes.
• 我穿8号鞋。

常见错误

n. (名词)

1. 这只蛋差不多和我的拳头一般大小。

   误 The egg was the size of about my fist.

   正 The egg was about the size of my fist.

   析 the size of可以在句中构成两个东西大小的比较,此时程度状语放在该短语前面。

2. 这本书是那本书的两倍大。

   误 This book is twice size of that.

   正 This book is twice the size of that.

   析 表示倍数或分数的词可放在the size之前。

3. 你穿多大尺码的鞋?

   误 How many size of shoes do you take?

   正 What size shoes do you take?

   析 问“多大尺码”时,应该用what size...?
