词义辨析

n. (名词)

interest, advantage, benefit, profit

• 这组词的共同意思是“优势”“好处”“利益”。其区别是：
• 1.advantage一般用于指地位上的优势，尤指对立双方中的某一方所具有的有利条件；benefit指个人或社会所获得的利益或好处；profit主要指所获得的物质利益，尤指金钱上的利益；interest常用其复数形式interests表示“利益”。
• 2.advantage一般不用于指所获得的物质利益；interest多限于表示一些抽象的如“投资”这样的权益，或指应付的“利息”；profit通常只用于指具体利益，偶尔用于抽象事物指权力或知识的增长等；benefit则既可指具体利益，也可指抽象事物上的收获或帮助。

下面三句的意思相同:

• It is to your interest to do it.
• It is in your interest(s) to do it.
• It is your interest to do it.
• 这样做对你有利。

v. (动词)

interest, amuse, please

• 这三个词的共同意思是“使人感兴趣”。其区别在于:interest意为“引起兴趣,使人感兴趣”,着重于“引起”; amuse意为“给…娱乐,消遣”,在被动句中,后面跟介词at, by, with引出的短语或动词不定式; please意为“使人满意,使人高兴”,在被动句中,多与介词about, by, with连用,不用于进行体。例如:
• He became very interested in science.他对科学变得感兴趣了。
• We were amused with the beautiful scenery.那美丽的风景使我们感到愉悦。
• I have been very much pleased by your analysis of the situation.我十分满意你对形势的分析。

advantage，benefit，interest，favour，profit，gain

• 这些名词均有“利益、好处”之意。
• advantage指因某方面占优势或利用某机会以及对方弱点而获得利益与好处。
• benefit普通用词，指通过正当手段从物质或精神方面得到的任何好处或利益。
• interest作“利益”解时，多用复数形式，既可指集团、群体的利益，又可指个人的利益。
• favour指在竞争中获得的advantage,也可指狭隘的个人利益。
• profit着重收益，尤指从物质、钱财等方面获得的利益。
• gain指获得的物质利益，也暗示不损坏他人利益而得的无形好处。

amuse，entertain，interest，please

• 这些动词均含有“使人娱乐，消遣”之意。
• amuse指使人通过注意某些有趣或悦人的事物而消遣，着重使人愉快的效果。
• entertain指通过给他人快乐感的消遣活动，使自己或他人从单调中解脱出来。
• interest普通用词，指出于任何原因使人兴奋或对某事物保持好奇心或注意力，侧重引起兴趣或注意。
• please多指愿望、兴趣得到满足后产生的强烈满意情绪。

常见错误

n. (名词)

1. 她对音乐和绘画有浓厚的兴趣。

   误 She takes great interest at music and painting.

   正 She takes great interest in music and painting.

   析 表示“对…感兴趣”,应该说take〔have〕 interest in…,其中介词in不能改成at。在这里interest是不可数名词。

2. 旅行中我们看到了许多有趣和新鲜的事物。

   误 We saw many interest and new things on our trip.

   正 We saw many interesting and new things on our trip.

3. 你发现那本书里有什么令人感兴趣的东西吗?

   误 Did you find any interest in the book?

   正 Did you find anything interesting in the book?

   析 注意interest是名词,不用于作定语修饰名词或代词; 而interesting是形容词,可用来修饰名词或代词。

4. 我希望,你会发现这本书很有趣。

   误 I hope you will find the book interest.

   正 I hope you will find the book of interest.

   析 名词interest前面可以加介词of,用来表示特征,相当于相应的形容词interesting,介词of不能省略。

5. 每个人都应该为人民的利益而工作。

   误 Everyone should work for the interest of the people.

   正 Everyone should work in the interest of the people.

   正 Everyone should work for the benefit of the people.

   析 “为…利益”可以译为 in the interest of...或for the benefit of...,其中介词in和for不能互换。

6. 我对比较文学很感兴趣。

   误 Comparative literature is of my great interest.

   正 Comparative literature is of great interest to me.

   析 of interest这个短语是“有兴趣的”意思。interest前可以用形容词如great, little, deep, tremendous等修饰,但不能用my, his等物主代词修饰。

7. 我要拿回我的钱外加利息。

   误 I want my money back plus the interests.

   正 I want my money back plus the interest.

   析 interest指“利息”时,是不可数名词,前面不加不定冠词,也不能用复数形式。

8. 努力工作对你有好处。

   误 It is in your interest to work hard.

   正 It is to your interest to work hard.

   析 表示“符合…的利益”“对…有好处”,习惯使用to one's interest,而不能使用其他介词。

9. 我们必须为国家的利益而奋斗。

   误 We must fight for national interest.

   正 We must fight for the national interest.

   析 the national interest(国家利益)一语中的定冠词the不可省去,而the public interest(公共利益)一语中的the可有可无。

v. (动词)

1. 那本杂志的插画很有趣。

   误 The illustrations in that magazine are very interested.

   正 The illustrations in that magazine are very interesting.

2. 我认为这堂课很有趣。

   误 I thought the lesson was quite interested.

   正 I thought the lesson was quite interesting.

3. 读你最近的信,我感到很有趣。

   误 I was very interesting in reading your last letter.

   正 I was very interested in reading your last letter.

   析 现在分词interesting和过去分词interested都可以在句中作定语或表语,但却不可以换用。当我们说“某人对某事感兴趣”时,用interested。当我们“谈论使我们感兴趣的人或事物”时,用interesting。

4. 他总是对英语课感兴趣。

   误 English is always interested him.

   正 English has always interested him.

   析 “英语课使人感兴趣”,不能用be interested这个表达被动意义的系表结构。其现在完成时表示英语课一直都使他感兴趣。

5. 我在报上读到科学家们已发现宇宙是怎样产生的,很感兴趣。

   误 I was interested in reading in the paper that scientists have found out how the universe began.

   正 I was interested to read in the paper that scientists have found out how the universe began.

   析 be interested后接to- v ,表示对已经了解的事或已经经历过的事感兴趣。be interested in+ v -ing表示对将要和可能发生的事感兴趣。
