词义辨析

n. (名词)

at sea, by sea, by the sea, in the sea, on the sea

• 这五个短语的意思不同。其区别在于：
• 1.at sea的意思是“航行中”“作海员”“茫然”。例如:
• By the second day, the ship was well out at sea.第二天该船顺利出航。
• He has two sons in the army, and a third at sea.他有两个儿子在陆军,第三个儿子当水手。
• The man has a son at sea.这人有个当水手的儿子。
• I felt completely at sea when I first arrived in this country.当我初到这个国家时,感觉全然迷惑了。
• We were all at sea until instructions arrived.接到指示前,我们都茫然不知所措。
• 2.in the sea的意思是“在海里”。例如:
• Children were bathing in the sea.孩子们在海里游泳。
• I bathed in the sea nearby twice a week.我曾在附近的海里一周游两次泳。
• He used to bathe in the sea after supper.晚饭后,他经常去海中泡水取凉。
• 3.by sea的意思是“由海路”“乘船”。例如:
• The storm has interrupted all travel by sea.暴风雨使所有海上旅行中断了。
• Going by sea seems a good bet.乘船去似乎是恰当的选择。
• Are you going out by sea?你是乘船出国吗?
• I will go to Chicago by sea.我将乘船去芝加哥。
• 4.by the sea的意思是“在海边”。例如:
• They pitched camp by the sea.他们在海边扎营。
• The couple spent all day by the sea, and motored to the hotel in the evening.这对夫妇白天在海边呆了一天,晚上乘车回旅馆。
• The children enjoyed playing by the sea, kicking up the sand into each other's faces.孩子们喜欢在海边玩耍,把沙子踢到伙伴的脸上。
• 5.on the sea的意思是“在海上”,常与ship, boat, sail等连用。例如:
• Boats sail on the sea.船航行于海上。

下面两组中短语的意思不同：

• go to sea
• 去当水手
• go to the sea
• 到海滨去
• all at sea
• 迷失船位
• at full sea
• 不知所措

sea, ocean

• 两词的意思不同,前者是海,后者是洋,在面积的划分上,海是洋的一部分。

sea，ocean

• 这两个名词均可表示“海”之意。
• sea普通用词，可用复数形式表单数意义。sea所指的面积要比ocean小得多。sea也可是ocean的一部分。
• ocean指把海作为一个整体，是海的总称，即海洋。

常见错误

n. (名词)

1. 知识的海洋深而广。

   误 The knowledge sea is deep and broad.

   正 The sea of knowledge is broad and deep.

   析 sea不受其他名词修饰,但sea of可修饰其他名词,如 a sea of faces (无数面孔), a sea of troubles (无穷的麻烦), a sea of red flags (红旗似海)等,都是形容数量之多。

2. 他到海边度假去了。

   误 He went to sea for his vacation.

   正 He went to the sea for his vacation.

   析 go to the sea(= go to the seaside)表示“到海边去”, go to sea(= become a sailor)表示“出海,当水手”。

3. 我们经常在海里游泳。

   误 We often swim on the sea.

   误 We often swim at sea.

   正 We often swim in the sea.

   析 “在海里游泳”是swim in the sea, at sea指在海上航行, on the sea指“在海上,在海边”。

4. 大约四分之三的地球被海水覆盖。

   误 About three quarters of the Earth is covered by seas.

   正 About three quarters of the Earth is covered by sea.

   析 sea表示“海水”时为不可数名词; 但当 sea 作“海浪”或“汹涌的波涛”解时多作复数。

5. 我不懂这问题,我茫然不知所措。

   误 I can't understand this problem; I'm all at the sea.

   正 I can't understand this problem; I'm all at sea.

   析 sea 往往和all 或completely连用,构成 be all〔completely〕 at sea的结构,表示“茫然”“摸不着头脑”, sea前面不加冠词。
