词义辨析

n. (名词)

in case, if

• I am taking an umbrella in case it rains later on.
• 我带着一把伞,以防一会儿下雨。
• I'll take an umbrella if it rains later on.
• 要是一会儿下雨,我就拿把伞。

case, invalid, patient

• 这组词的共同意思是“病人”。其区别在于：
• 1.patient的含义是“病人”,跟医生相对而言,可指医生受理的各种病人,包括正在接受或已接受治疗的、住院的或去医院就诊的以及不去医院但接受治疗的所有病员。
• 2.case在作“患病的人”解时含义是“病例”。例如:
• Worst cases are sent to hospital.病情最坏的人被送到医院。
• 3.invalid主要指因伤病而身体虚弱的人。例如:
• At that time, life for families with invalids was even harder.那个时候,家中有病人的生活更苦。

case, box, casket, chest

• 1.box泛指各种箱子、盒子、匣子,其体积不分大小,形状为方形。
• 2.case不分形状大小,其用途较广,有时也可指套子、罩子、壳、鞘等。例如:
• He put the knife back in its case.他把小刀放回刀鞘中去。
• 3.chest指箱子,还可以指柜子、橱子、五斗橱等,较大,常用来放置贵重物品或作运输包装用。例如:

常见错误

n. (名词)

1. 我的很多朋友都失业了,在这方面我还是比较幸运的。

   误 Most of my friends lost their jobs, but I was lucky in this case.

   正 Most of my friends lost their jobs, but I was lucky in this respect.

   析 in this case的意思是“既然这样”,而不是“在这方面”。

2. 至于出发时间,你可以自己来决定。

   误 In case of the time for departure, you can decide on it yourself.

   正 In the case of the time for departure, you can decide on it yourself.

3. 如果发生火灾,就先砸碎玻璃取出灭火器。

   误 In the case of fire, break the glass to remove the extinguisher.

   正 In case of fire, break the glass to remove the extinguisher.

   析 in case of与in the case of的意思完全不同:in case of的意思是“万一”,而in the case of则是“就…来说,至于…”的意思。
