用法讲解
- character的基本意思是“个性”“特色”。主要指某人、事物或地点所具有的区别于他人、他物、他地点的所有属性,即某人、事物、地点具有的独特的品质或本质,也可指一个人根深蒂固的心理特征的综合,即个人特定的内在本质。多用作可数名词,也可用作不可数名词。
- character也可指“品行,德性”,如原则性强、诚实等,这时用作不可数名词。
- character作“人”解时是非正式用法,或谓其古怪滑稽,或含贬义。也可指小说、戏剧中出现的“人物,角色”。
- character还可作书写或印刷的“字体”“符号”解,“汉字”一般说Chinese characters。
- character意为“性格”,characteristic是“性格里的特质”,多个characteristics可以合成一个character,而一个人只可以有一个character;
-
在指人时,在表语用法习惯里有a/an,但在定语用法习惯里没有a/an。
