词语用法

n. (名词)

2. 在表示“(海、江、湖、池、河等大片的)水域”时, water常用复数形式,此时常与定冠词the连用。
3. waters也可表示“矿泉水”“矿泉浴”,还可表示“(某国的)近海海域”。

词义辨析

n. (名词)

water, waters

• water的复数形式waters常可看作是另外一个词,这两个词的共同意思是“水”,其区别是：
• water用作名词时的意思是“水”,是物质名词,不可数,没有复数形式,用作动词时意思是“浇水”“加水”; 而waters表示“矿泉水”“近海海域”。例如:
• I was very thirsty and drank quite a few cups of water.我渴极了,喝了好几杯水。
• He is watering the sunflowers.他在给向日葵浇水。
• These vessels frequent the waters of the Pacific Oceans.这些船只常出入太平洋水域。

in deep waters, deep in the waters

• 参见deep条。

常见错误

n. (名词)

1. 水被用来饮用和洗涤。

   误 We use waters for drinking and washing.

   正 We use water for drinking and washing.

   析 water表示“水”,是不可数名词。复数形式waters是表示“领海”“海域”等。

2. 这次我们走水路。

   误 Let's go on water this time.

   正 Let's go by water this time.

   析 表示“乘船”“走水路”可以说by water,也可以说by ship, by boat,不可说on water。

3. 那个男孩跌进水中淹死了。

   误 The boy fell into water and was drowned.

   正 The boy fell into the water and was drowned.

   析 water特指某一具体水域时常加定冠词the。
