词语用法

1. the community表示“大众”，统称为“社会”。而用society表示社会时，前面不加the。

n. (名词)

1. community的基本意思是“社区,社会,团体”,表示在某地区居住、具有相同文化和历史背景的民众或社区。用作主语时,谓语动词通常用单数。community指一个地区或国家的“大众,公众”时,前面通常有定冠词the,引申还可表示“共有,共享”。

词义辨析

n. (名词)

community, society

• 这两个词的共同意思是“社会”,在作有共同职业、爱好的“团体”“社团”解时,两词可互换使用。例如:
• The medical workers formed a society〔community〕.医务工作者成立了一个团体。
• 两者区别在于：
• 1.society意为“社会”“社会阶层”,是普通用语,语义范围比community广泛,泛指全人类的社会,普遍的社会各阶层,侧重人文概念。
• 2.community指由同住一地区或同一国的人所构成的“社区”“社会”,侧重地理概念。例如:
• Our community has its own library.我们的社区有自己的图书馆。
• This is the only shop in the village community.这是本社区唯一的商店。

词源解说

• ☆ 15世纪晚期进入英语，直接源自古法语的communit；最初源自古典拉丁语的communitatem，意为社区，团体。
