词义辨析

n. (名词)

suit, clothes, clothing, coat, dress, overcoat

• 这六个词的共同意思是“衣服”。其区别是：
• clothes是衣服的总称,含义较具体,指具体的“衣服”,可指上衣、下衣、外衣、内衣,也可指特定时间或情况下穿的衣服。例如:
• He spent a lot of money on clothes when he was young.他年轻时花很多钱买衣服。
• clothing也是衣服的总称,含义较抽象,泛指“衣着”这一概念,而且还包括鞋帽等,且有时clothing不一定与穿衣者有关,可与制造者或销售者有关。例如:
• People of different climates wear different clothing.生活在不同气候条件下的人衣着也不相同。
• This is a factory that makes children's clothing.这是一家童装厂。
• coat专指女式大衣或男式西装上衣。例如:
• I've bought a coat for my daughter.我替女儿买了一件大衣。
• These coats are in the newest style.这些西装上衣都是最新款式的。
• dress指外衣或特定场合的衣服,尤指妇女或儿童日常服装、连衣裙等。例如:
• She wore a long, white dress for the wedding.她穿着一件长长的白色结婚礼服。
• overcoat专指男大衣。例如:
• Men and boys wear overcoats in cold weather.天冷时，人们都穿大衣。
• suit则指一套衣服,尤指男西装。例如:
• My brother wore a new suit for the party.我哥哥穿一身新西服去参加晚会。

v. (动词)

suit, fit

• 这两个词都有“适合”的意思。其区别是：
• 1.fit在用于衣着、鞋帽等场合下的“适合”时,指的是大小、形状、宽松方面; 而suit则着重指颜色、款式、色调方面的合适。例如:
• That colour doesn't suit her.
• 那种颜色不适合她的肤色。
• The suit fitted her nicely.
• 这身衣服她穿正合适。
• 2.如果衣着使某人看上去有吸引力,不能用fit,而要用suit。例如:
• I love you in that dress, it really suits you.我很喜欢你穿的这件衣服,它使你看上去很有吸引力。

adapt，adjust，conform，accommodate，suit，fit

• 这些动词均有“使适合，适应”之意。
• adapt指人或物在原有情况下作某些改变以适应新的环境或不同的条件，强调改变的目的和重要性。
• adjust与adapt含义很接近，但adjust所改变的幅度要小一些，侧重过程，主要用于调整角度、高度、光点等。
• conform多指与某模式或规则相符，也引申指改变习惯等以适应新的环境。
• accommodate书面用词，指以外部条件标准改变自己或某事以求得适应，着重改变或调节的有利。
• suit指适合要求，从而使人满意愉快。
• fit含义广，指人或物适合或适应某一目的或用途。

• clothes普通用词，多指包括上衣、内衣或裤子等具体的一件件衣服。
• clothing常用词，集合名词，是衣服的总称。
• coat指上衣、外衣、大衣、外套及女式上装。
• dress多指正式场合或为某些特定用途而穿的服装，也指童装或女性穿的连衣裙。
• garment语气庄重，正式用词，复数形式可与clothes换用，指身上全部穿着。单数形式指单件衣服，尤指长袍、外套等外面的衣服。
• robe指长袍，也指浴衣、晨衣。
• gown指女人穿的长服，尤指教士、法官、教授等的礼服或妇女的睡衣等，也指长袍。
• uniform指某团体或组织统一做的制服，如军服、校服等。

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 这顶红色的帽子不适合她。

   误 She is not suited by the red cap.

   正 The red cap does not suit her.

   析 suit作“相配”解时,不可用在被动结构中。
