词义辨析

n. (名词)

provisions, diet, food, 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。

词源解说
