词义辨析

n. (名词)

food, diet, provisions, rations, table

• 这五个词都可作“食物”解。其区别在于:food是一般用语,在科学上指把植物作为营养的东西,常有plant food那样的用法; diet指惯常的或规定的食物,特指维持健康的定量或定质的食物,又指疗养时规定的食物,也指肉食或素食等食物。常指病人,犯人,减肥者等吃的食物; provisions意为“一批粮食”,指即时应用或储藏备用的食物; rations指配给的定量食物; table指陈列于桌上的食品,一般是较丰盛的。例如:
• Milk is the natural food for young babies.牛奶是婴儿的天然食物。
• I like a simple diet best.我最喜欢粗茶淡饭。
• I'm going to buy provisions for the holidays.我要去买一些假期所需要的食物。
• People in some countries live on rations.一些国家的人们靠配给的定量食物为生。
• He keeps a good table.他备盛宴以待客。

常见错误

n. (名词)

1. 我不喜欢这个餐馆供应的食物。

   误 I don't like the foods served in this restaurant.

   正 I don't like the food served in this restaurant.

2. 人口增加需要更多的食物。

   误 More foods are necessary for an increasing population.

   正 More food is necessary for an increasing population.

3. 食物供应不能满足他们的需要。

   误 The supply of foods cannot meet their needs.

   正 The supply of food cannot meet their needs.

   析 食物的统称用单数food。只有在强调不同的食品时,才能用复数形式foods。在比喻说法中,也只用单数。
