词语用法

词义辨析

n. (名词)

relation, relative

• 这两个词都有“亲戚”的意思。其区别是：
• 1.根据血统或婚姻关系的远近来说,较近的亲戚用relation,较远的亲戚用relative。例如:
• He had no relatives in California.他在加利福尼亚没有亲戚。
• She has no relatives in town.她城里没有亲戚。
• These are the gifts to friends and relatives.这些就是送给亲戚和朋友的礼物。
• 2.relation除表达抽象意思外,还表示特别亲密的关系, relative只含有单纯的亲戚意味。试比较：
• He was on intimate relations with her.
• 他和她有亲密的交情。
• My uncle is my nearest living relative.
• 我叔叔是我最近的亲人。

relative，relation

• 这两个名词均有“亲戚、亲属”之意。
• relative普通用词，常可与relation换用，有时指一般的亲戚。
• relation一般指因血统或婚烟关系形成的亲戚。

常见错误

n. (名词)

1. 这两个国家之间的关系现在很紧张。

   误 The relation between these two nations are now much strained.

   正 The relations between these two nations are now much strained.

   析 表示种族、民族、国家等之间的“关系”时,习惯用复数形式relations。
