词义辨析

n. (名词)

prospect, scene, scenery, sight, view

• 这组词都有“景色”的意思。其区别是：
• 1.prospect指从高处眺望所见到的景色,前景; scene指局部的、一眼可见全貌的风景或景色,不限于自然的风景,也常指(戏剧、电影、小说等的)场景、布景; scenery则指某一国家或某一地区的整体的自然风景; sight指眼见的景色,如供人游览之地的“景”或“景色”,尤指人工制成的景; view则主要指从高处俯视到的景色。例如:
• The prospect from the hill is yet more beautiful.从山上眺望风景更为美丽。
• The West Lake is remarkable for its scenery.西湖以其风景著名。
• The Great Wall is one of the most breath-taking sights in the world.长城是世界上最惊人的壮观景象之一。
• There is a lovely view from this window.从这个窗子可以看到一片秀丽的景色。
• 2.view和scene所表达的景色都是scenery中的一部分,都可指眼里看到的每日自然的景色,但view是最一般的用语,而scene则是由“舞台场景”的意义引申而来的,用的少些。

词源解说

• ☆ 15世纪初期进入英语，直接源自拉丁语的prospectus：pro- (向前） + specere (看），意为观点。
