用法讲解

n. (名词)
  1. affair的意思是“事,事情,事务”,含义很广,可指已经发生的、所关心的或必须做的任何事情。
  2. affair的复数形式(其前不加冠词)不指许多件事,而指重大的或头绪较多的事务。口语中affair(单数)可模糊地或故意模棱两可地表示“东西”“物品”或“事件”。
  3. affair用于委婉语时指“男女之间的事”,类似于汉语中的“那事儿”。多指不正当男女关系,也可指正常恋爱。
  1. affair的复数形式affairs常指“情形”或“事态”，不指“多件事”。

    He asked me how affairs stood.
    注意affairs前没有the。

  2. affair有时指“love-affair”，即“风流韵事”。

    He has had an affair with the girl.

  3. 下列表达方式中用affairs，复数形式：foreign affairs (外交事务)，his financial affairs (他的经济情况），your own affairs (你自己的事情）。
n. (名词)
affair, business, concern, 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。
    • 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。

    • 词源解说

    • ☆ 14世纪进入英语，直接源自殖英中世纪诺曼底语的afere，意为人义务中要做的事情；最初源自古语的afaire，意为去做。
    用作名词 (n.)
    settle one's affairs
