词语用法

n. (名词)

1. class用作名词意思是“阶级,社会等级”,指具有政治、社会或经济地位的群体,是集合名词,可与单数或复数的动词连用,多用复数形式,作“社会等级制度”解时不可数。
2. class也可作“班级”解,是可数的集合名词。可作单数使用,也可作复数使用,在美式英语中作单数用得更多些。作单数使用时,表示一个中性的无生命的整体,要用it或which来指代,谓语动词要用单数形式; 如用作复数,则表示组成这个集体的一个个有生命的成员,要用they或who来指代,谓语动词要用复数形式。使用时关键在于一致,至少在同一个句子内要一致。
3. class也可表示一节具体的“课”,是可数名词。也可抽象化,表示“上课”这一概念,这时class是不可数的,其前不用定冠词。
4. class还可表示衣着、行为等的优雅、高尚或令人赞赏的风度、外表等。

v. (动词)

1. class用作动词的意思是“把…归入某等级”,是及物动词,接名词或代词作宾语。
2. class还可作“把…看作”解,接以形容词或“as+ n. ”充当补足语的复合宾语。
3. class常与介词as, among, with连用。

词义辨析

n. (名词)

in class A, of class A

• 这两个短语的区别在于:in class A强调场所; of class A强调所属。例如:
• pupil in class A 在A班的学生
• pupil of class A 属于A班的学生

in class, in the class

• in class表示“课内,上课时”,而in the class表示“在这个班级里”。例如:
• Try to speak as much English as possible in class.课堂上尽可能多说英语。
• There are thirty students in the class.这个班级有30个学生。

class, order, rank

• 这组词都可表示“集团”或“派别”的划分,“身份地位”或“等级”的“差别”。其区别在于:
• 1.rank一般指一个可以确定的“等级”,尤指“头衔”等; order指在社会中的某个阶层或某个结合紧密的社会性或职业性团体,尤指基督教某个等级的教士或团体; class主要指社会中持有同一个目的的一个社会阶层。例如:
• Even middle-class consumers in the U.S. are beginning to kick at the runaway prices.连美国中产阶级的消费者也开始对飞涨的物价表示不满。
• He gained the rank of Colonel.他获得了上校军衔。
• He is a member of the Order of the Garter.他是获得嘉德勋位的爵士社团中的一员。
• 2.class还可指按经济地位、职能或按人们所具有的某些共同特征所做的划分。例如:
• This ticket doesn't entitle you to travel first class.凭这张车票,你不能坐头等车旅行。

class, course, lesson

• 这三个词都有“课”的意思。其区别在于:class原指同一班级学习同一学科的人,由此可引申为同学聚集在一起“上课”; course指教学中一段时期内要教完或学完的功课,即“课程”; lesson指课程所分成的“段落”,课本中的“一课”或“每次授课的单位时间”。例如:
• There won't be any class today.今天不上课。
• I took up a three-year course in English in middle school.在中学，我学习了三年的英语课程。
• The new lesson is very difficult.新课很难。

下面这句话有两个意思:

• They were in the same class.
• 他们的考试成绩被列入同一等级。(BrE)
• 他们是同一年级的学生。(AmE)

class，degree，grade，rank

• 这些名词均有“级，等级”之意。
• class含义广泛，指人或物按优劣划分的等级，也指学校中的年级或班级。
• degree指程度、范围不同，社会地位的高低。也可指形容词或副词的级。
• grade指按地位或优劣划分的等级，既可指人又可指物。
• rank指人在社会中的地位或等级，尤指军队中的军衔。

class，lesson，lecture，course

• 这些名词均含“课”之意。
• class从“班级”引申指学生在一起上课，还可表示“(一节)课”。
• lesson主要指教材中的一课或每次授课的单位时间。
• lecture指讲课。
• course指在一段时间内教完或学完的完整的课程。

kind，sort，type，class，classification，category，species，variety

• 这些名词均有“种、类、类型”之意。
• kind指性质相同，而且特征很相似，足以归为一类的人或东西。
• sort普通用词，文体较kind随便，指对人或对事物进行的大概分类，有时含贬义。
• type指客观界限比较清楚，有相同本质特点的同类事物，或指大致相似的同类事物。
• class正式用词，指门类、种类或优劣等级；用于指动植物的分类时，表示“纲”。
• classification指根据已经确定的类型对某一事物作鉴别和归类。
• category书面用词，特指有确切定义的群体。
• species书面用词，单复数同形。指生物分类上的种。
• variety强调有各自的特点，形式不同，品质不同的种类。

常见错误

n. (名词)

1. 全班在观点上有分歧。

   误 The class was divided in its opinion.

   正 The class were divided in its opinion.

   析 class是集体名词,当侧重整体时,谓语动词用单数形式; 侧重个体时用复数形式。

2. 请在课后读几遍课文。

   误 Please read the text several times after the class.

   正 Please read the text several times after class.

   析 表示“下课后”,应该说after class,在class前没有定冠词。

词源解说

• ☆ 直接源自法语的classe；最初源自拉丁语的classis，意为种类，阶级。
