- nature的基本意思是“大自然,自然界”,包含各种生物及山脉、河流等一切自然世界,宇宙万物,并包含一切自然过程,是不可数名词,其前不能加定冠词。
- nature作“本性,性情,性质”解时,可以用来表示物的“本质,特征,性质”,用作不可数名词,也可用来指人或动物的“天性脾气,性格”等,可用作可数名词,也可用作不可数名词。
- nature作“类型,种类”解时,用于单数形式,可与不定冠词连用。
- in nature用于疑问句、否定句或包含最高级的句子中,以加强语气,表示“在世界上,究竟,事实上”。
- human nature 意为“人性,人情”,good nature 意为“好脾气”,ill nature意为“不友善,坏脾气”,以及second nature意为“第二天性”。以上这些用法中nature前不加the或者a,也没有复数形式;

- 这组词的共同意思是“种类”。kind在多数情况下可以和sort或type互换,但当指生物学的类属或者种类时,只能用kind; type所表示的“种类”有典型性,多指那些界限非常明确,且有明显类似之处的一类。例如:
- There are four basic types of blood.有四种基本血型。

- How did you get this sort of ideas into your head?你的脑袋里怎么会有这种想法?

- He is a person of that description.他就是那种人。
- nature指实质和特性上相似的一类。例如:
- I never met things of this nature.我从未遇见过这种事情。

- character指对个性或人格所作出的客观评价,常常与道德有关。
- nature指其天性。
- personality主要指个性。
