词义辨析

n. (名词)

concern, affair, business, matter, thing

• 这组词在含糊地指那些所做的事时意义相近,常可互换。例如：
• It is a regretful affair〔business, concern, matter, thing〕.这是一件遗憾的事。
• I don't talk to her about private affairs〔business, concerns, matters, things〕.我从不和她谈私事。
• 它们之间的区别在于：
• 1.从模糊程度上看, affair＜matter＜thing, thing的词义最不确切,常可用在有意使概念含混不清的场合。例如：
• How did you find things in America?你觉得美国怎样?
• 2.从含义上看, affair强调运行或操作过程,如一道程序,一笔交易,一个行动,一项事业等。business强调职责关系,例如：
• It is her business to take good care of the baby.看护好这个婴儿是她的职责。
• concern强调利害相关,例如：
• It is no concern of mine.此事与我无关。
• matter强调必须考虑和处理,例如：
• We have a lot of matters to do.我们有许多事情要做。
• thing则是一般用语,口语中常表示说话内容预先未考虑好或说话者力图掩饰自己的观点,例如：
• I've another thing to talk with you.我还有一件事跟你说。
• 3.从用法上看, business不能用复数,而affair在指重大的或头绪较多的事务时则需要用复数。
• 4.从搭配范围上看,与foreign、international、state等词连用时只能用affair,在短语have an affair with sb (与某人有不正当男女关系)中也只能用affair。在指商业上的生意和活动或指“公事”“正事”时只能用business,例如：
• It's a pleasure to do business with you.很高兴和你做生意。
• Business before pleasure.公事比娱乐要紧。
• 口语中作“出了毛病”“失常”解时,只能用matter而不能用affair和business,例如：
• What's the matter with you?你怎么啦?
• 在泛指“东西”“物品”时,用affair和thing均可。例如：
• And these Tubes were convenient things〔affairs〕.而这地下铁道是非常方便的东西。

concern, care

• 二者均可表示“关心”,有时可换用。其区别在于:
• 1.care后一般接介词for, concern后一般接for, about或at。例如:
• He showed no care〔concern〕 for others.他对别人漠不关心。
• He does not show much concern about it.他对那事不太关心。
• He expressed much concern at the news.他对这条消息十分关心。
• 2.care可表示“小心”,而concern无此义。例如:
• Great care should be exercised in the matter.对这件事应特别慎重。
• 3.concern后接with或in表利害关系,而care无此用法。例如:
• I have no concern with〔in〕 this business.我与这事不相干。

v. (动词)

be concerned about, care for

• 这组短语都有“关心”的意思。其区别在于:
• 1.care for主要用于人,且多用于口语中。例如:
• I really care for the students in my class, though I've taught them only two months. 我确实喜欢我班上的学生,尽管我才教他们两个月。
• Does she care for him at all? 她到底喜欢他吗?
• 2.be concerned about 既可用于人,也可用于物,多用于书面语中。例如:
• Please don't be concerned about me.请不要为我的事操心。
• Why are you so concerned about the boy's safety?你为何如此担心那孩子的安全?
• He is concerned about her illness.他担心她的病情。
• The leader was much concerned about the plight of the refugees.那位领导人对难民的悲惨处境很担忧。

affair，business，matter，concern，thing

• 这些名词均含“事情”之意。
• affair含义较广，侧重指已发生或必须去做的任何事情或事务。复数形式多指重大或较复杂的事务。
• business通常指较重要或较难而又必须承担的事情，也可指商事。
• matter普通用词，着重指一件考虑中的或需要处理的事。
• concern往往强调与个人或团体利害有直接或重大关系的事。
• thing用作“事情”解时，词义较笼统、含糊，多用于指不很具体的事。

anxiety，worry，care，concern

• 这些名词均含“焦虑、关心”之意。
• anxiety指对预料中的不祥之事的焦虑。
• worry侧重对未知事态演变的忧虑。
• care强调因出于责任感或顾虑等而产生的不安。
• concern作“关心”用时，是indifference(冷漠)的反义词，侧重对他人健康、安全等的关心，也可暗示对困难、危险或失败等的忧虑。

词源解说

• ☆ 15世纪中期进入英语，直接源自中世纪法语的concernere；最初源自后期拉丁语的concernere：con (和) + cernere (筛选），意为察觉，理解。
