词义辨析

n. (名词)

arms, weapon

• 这两个词的共同意思是“武器”。其区别是：
• arms常用作复数形式,指专为战争而制造的兵器,如枪、炮,尤指士兵个人使用的具体的武器; weapon可用作单数形式或复数形式,指各种可用于进攻或防御的东西,如石块、木棍、枪炮、原子弹,也可用于借喻。例如：
• The soldiers have enough arms.
• 士兵有足够的武器。
• Guns and swords are weapons.
• 枪炮和刀剑都是武器。
• He used the pen as his weapon.
• 他以笔作武器。
• 眼泪是女人的武器吗?
• ［误］ Are tears woman's arms?
• ［正］ Are tears woman's weapon?

with open arms, with open hands

• We welcomed these foreign guests with open arms.我们热情地欢迎这些外宾。
• Susan spends her money with open hands.苏珊花钱大手大脚。

常见错误

n. (名词)

1. 抱着孩子的那个妇女是我的姨妈。

   误 The woman who is carrying a child with her arms is my aunt.

   正 The woman who is carrying a child in her arms is my aunt.

   析 “抱着…”应说carry...in one's arms,其中介词不能用with,因为这里表示的是状态,而不是用某种工具。

2. 有人给这些士兵提供美式武器。

   误 These soldiers were provided with American arm.

   正 These soldiers were provided with American arms.

   析 arms作“武器”讲时,总是以复数形式出现,不能用作单数。

3. 他抓住了我的胳膊。

   误 He took me by my arm.

   正 He took my arm.

   正 He took me by the arm.

   析 抓住某人身体的某部位用句型“take sb by the+ n. (被抓的部位)”或“take sb's+ n. ”。
