词语用法

n. (名词)

1. job的基本意思是指为谋生或糊口而干的有报酬的工作。可泛指“职业,职位”,也可指一件具体的工作,尤指难以完成的工作,是可数名词。
2. job引申可指“职责,责任”,这时通常用单数形式。
3. 在广告用语中, job可指“以…为宗旨”。
4. job作“做某事很吃力,干某事很困难”解时,其后可接to- v 或 v -ing作主语; job还可以as短语表示具体的“职业”“工作”。

词义辨析

n. (名词)

job, career, work

• 这组词都有“职业”“事业”的意思。
• 1.career指的是终身事业; 而job和work却指的是人们为谋生而做的工作。
• 2.job主要指有报酬的工作; 而work可指任何需要做出努力来完成的事。

job, chore, task, work

• 这四个词都有“工作”的意思。其区别是：
• task是可数名词,一般指分配的工作,也可指自愿承担的工作,尤指较困难、紧张的工作; work是不可数名词,指工作、劳动、职业、操作、运转等,这个词是一般用语,可用于各种场合; job是可数名词,指一件必须做的工作,或有报酬的工作,也可指职业,多用于口语中; chore指日常琐事,尤指家庭或农场干的杂务,家务事常用复数形式。例如:
• He goes to work at eight.他八点钟去上班。
• It takes a lot of work to build a house.盖一幢房子要费很大的工夫。
• They are paid by job.他们是按件计酬。
• I got a job with a firm.我在一家公司找到了工作。
• Each morning she would get up, do the chores, then go next door for a talk with her neighbour.每天早晨她都起来做些家务事,然后去隔壁和邻居聊天。

job, place, position, work

• 这组词的共同意思是“工作”。其区别是：
• 1.place主要指“公职”; position主要指白领阶层有身份的工作。例如:
• It's not your place to tell me what to do.你无权吩咐我做什么。
• He applied for the position of assistant manager.他申请经理助理一职。
• 2.work和job都指一般的工作。job可数,而work不可数; job是有薪酬的,而work有无报酬均可; job常指临时性的工作,而work则相对固定些; job不一定需要技术或经过训练,而work则包括体力、脑力、技术性、非技术性等所有工作,尤指需作出努力来完成的工作; job与“失业”相对, work与“休息”相对。例如:
• I have a lot of work to do this evening.今晚我有很多的工作要做。
• What time do you go to work every day?你每天几点上班?

look for a job, look for jobs

• 这两个短语的共同意思是“找工作”。其区别是：
• 主语为单数时用look for a job; 主语为复数时用look for jobs。例如:
• The person might be out looking for a job.那个人可能出去找工作了。
• The number of people looking for jobs was over 5000.寻找工作的人数已超过5000人。

下面两个句子的意思不同:

• It is a job waxing the car.
• 给这汽车打蜡上光是很费劲的。
• It is a job of waxing the car.
• 那是给这汽车打蜡上光的活儿。

profession，job，occupation，trade，vocation，career，work，employment

• 这些名词均含“职业”之意。
• profession以前常指要受过高等教育(尤指法律、医学和神学)才能获得的职业，现在一般指为谋生之职，尤指从事脑力劳动和受过专门训练，具有某种专业知识的工作。
• job 泛指一切有报酬的工作。
• occupation泛指任何一种职业，比job正式，经常用于书面填表中。
• trade指技巧、技能型职业。
• vocation较正式用词，语气庄重，有专业及天职之意，以前常用于教会中的职位。
• career指经过专门训练，终身愿意从事的职业。
• work指任何种类的工作，也泛指职业。
• employment指受雇的工作，通常能比较稳定领取工资。

work，task，job

• 这些名词均有“工作”之意。
• work最普通用词，含义广，指人们日常生活和工作中所从事的有目的的体力或脑力劳动。
• task通常指分派给的任务，也指自愿的工作，但往往是艰巨或令人厌烦的工作。
• job多用于口语，侧重指受雇用的，以谋生为目的工作，不论有无技术，也不管是零工或散工。

常见错误

n. (名词)

1. 现在有许多妇女失业。

   误 Many women are out of job.

   正 Many women are out of a job.

   正 Many women are out of jobs.

2. 约翰现在失业了。

   误 Now,John is out of jobs.

   正 Now,John is out of a job.

   正 Now,John is out of job.

   正 Now,John is without a job.

   析 job作“工作”“职业”解时是可数名词。“多人失业”应该说out of a job或out of jobs。“一个人失业”应该说out of a job, out of job或without a job。

3. 我找了一份给人家端菜的活。

   误 I got a job to serve the dinner.

   正 I got a job of serving the dinner.

4. 请她来吃饭可不是一件容易的事。

   误 You'll have a job in inviting her to dinner.

   正 You'll have a job to invite her to dinner.

   正 You'll have a job inviting her to dinner.

   析 job指一份工作时,其后不可接动词不定式作其定语; 指“难做的事”时,可接to- v ,也可接 v -ing作其定语, v -ing前不可加介词in。
