词义辨析

n. (名词)

department store, shop, store

• 这组词都可表示“商店”。其区别在于:shop在英国一般指零售商店,在美国还指专卖店,即出售固定商品的门市部; store为美国用词,指零售商店,其复数stores则指百货商店,相当于英式英语中的department store。例如:
• By the end of the year the little seed and grain shop had developed its trade considerably.到年底,那个种子、粮食小店的生意有了相当大的发展。
• She bought the sofa at the stores.她在百货公司买了这沙发。
• I do all my shopping at that department store.我什么都在那家百货商店买。

department，store，shop

• 这3个名词都含有“商店”之意。
• department作商店解时，是美国英语，通常写为department store。
• store在美国指出售同一类商品的小型商店。在英国用复数形式表示百货商店。
• shop指规模较小，出售同一类商品的店铺。

词源解说

• ☆ 15世纪中期进入英语，直接源自古法语的dpartement，意为分开的部门，各自的生意；最初源自晚期拉丁语的departire。
