n. (名词)

1. date的基本意思是“(注明的)日期,日子,年份”,是可数名词,不一定只指某一天,可以统指年、月、日,但不用于“星期”或单独用于“月份”。date指的日期往往是特指的,其前常加the。
2. date也可作“时代,年代”解,若指历史上某一时期,是不可数名词。
3. date还可作“约定”解,指会面的时间和地点的确定,引申可表示异性间“社交约会,幽会”,是可数名词。
4. 在美国口语中, date可指“约会对象或舞伴”,是可数名词。

v. (动词)

1. date用作动词意思是“注(明)日期”。引申可作“鉴定…的年代”“约会”解。
2. date可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时可接名词或代词作宾语,作“断〔鉴〕定年代”解时,常以古物、古器等名词作宾语,有时可接以as短语充当补足语的复合宾语。用作不及物动词作“约会”解时,少指一般朋友之间的约会,而多指情侣之间的约会,也可用以指异性中的一方对此种交往的同意,含有“就这样约定了”,属非正式用法,多用于美国。
3. date用作不及物动词,还有“过时,不流行”的意思。
4. date的过去分词dated可用作形容词,在句中作定语或表语。

词义辨析

n. (名词)

date, day

• 这两个词都有“日,天”的意思。其区别在于:
• 1.date指某种事发生的“日期”,不一定只指某一天,可以统指年、月、日,一般用单数; day指一周中的“某一天,一整天”等,意为“白天,日子”,又专指星期几。例如:
• Has the date for the meeting fixed?开会的日期决定了没有?
• The first day of a week is Sunday.一个星期的第一天是星期天。
• 2.在询问“某天是什么日子”时,两词都可用,但意义不同, date问的是“日期”,而day问的是“星期几”。例如:
• What day is it today?
• 今天是星期几?
• What is the date today?
• 今天是几号?

v. (动词)

date back to, date from

• 这两个短语都可译作“始于”。前者着眼于开始的时间,即“起自”; 后者强调从开始延续到现在。

date，day

• 这两个名词均有“日”之意。
• date指具体的年、月、日，或指年代、时代。
• day泛指任何一天，或指含有“一昼夜”意义的一天，也可指工作日。可用复数表时代、时期。

词源解说

• ☆ 15世纪初期进入英语，直接源自古法语的date，意为时间；最初源自中世纪拉丁文语的data。
