词义辨析

n. (名词)

head, chief, chieftain, president

• 这组词的共同意思是“头头”或“领导人”。
• 1.president指“总统,主席”或“(大学)的校长”。
• 2.chief通常指一个团体中身居最高职位的人或国家,也可指政府中某个部门的主管,多用于美式英语中,且具有较为庄重的色彩。例如:
• The mayor displaced the police chief.市长把警察局局长撤换了。
• The Queen is the chief of the armed forces by right.女王理应是武装部队的统帅。
• He was the chief of the clan.他是那个部族的族长。
• 3.head一般用于比chief地位稍低的人,有时可与chief互换使用,多用于英式英语中。例如:
• Zhang Hua was chosen the head of the factory.张华被选为厂长。
• The original founder is still the head of the organization.最早的创始人仍是该组织的领导人。
• 4.chieftain则专指一个部落的酋长、族长,或强盗、土匪等的头头。例如:
• He used to be a Highland chieftain.他过去是一个苏格兰高地的族长。
• John was the chieftain of a band of robbers.约翰是一伙强盗的头目。

v. (动词)

head for, head to

• 这两个短语中介词不同,意义用法也都不同:
• 1.head for的意思是“引向某地〔某人〕”,而head to则是“引出…结果”。
• 2.在用法方面, head for常用于进行体; head to一般不用于进行体。

head up, heads up

• 这两个短语中的head一个是单数形式,一个是复数形式,但词义和用法完全不同。head up的意思是“在…前面”“领导或主管…”; 而heads up的意思是“小心,当心”。head up在句中作谓语,而heads up则在口语中用于独立祈使句。

chief，head，leader，boss

• 这些名词都指“拥有权力或统治权的人”。
• chief最广泛用词，上可指最高统治者，下可指顶头上司，也可指任何一级的头头。

常见错误

n. (名词)

1. 他们卖给这个国家600万头马、牛和羊。

   误 They sold six million heads of horses, cattle and sheep to the state.

   析 head用来表示动物数量时,不管前面的数字为多少, head总是用单数形式。

2. 他在语言方面有才能。

   误 He has a good head to language.

   正 He has a good head for language.

   析 表示“在…方面有才能”时,不能用介词to,而须用for。

   误 His father struck his head.

   析 “敲打某人的头”要用strike sb on the head来表示。

v. (动词)

1. 他们正前往芝加哥。

   误 They are all heading to Chicago.

   正 They are all heading for Chicago.

   析 head表示“开往或前往(某地)”的意思时,后面应跟介词for表示目的地,而不能用to。
