词义辨析

n. (名词)

for sale, on sale

• 这两个短语的共同意思是“出售”。其区别是：
• for sale往往用来指出售自己的物品或代销别人的物品; 而on sale没有这种限制,只表示“有售”,使用广泛,相当于on the market。试比较:
• This is my bicycle for sale.
• 这就是我准备出售的自行车。
• Pear has been on sale.
• 梨已经上市了。

下面三句意思相同:

• I got this hat on sale.
• I got this hat at a sale.
• I bought this hat in a sale.
• 我这顶帽子是降价时买的。

常见错误

n. (名词)

1. 这些苹果都有待出售。

   误 These apples are on sale.

   正 These apples are for sale.

2. 这辆旧汽车是要卖吗?

   误 Is the used car on sale?

   正 Is the used car for sale?

3. 这书店里正出售大批西欧古典文学作品。

   误 A large number of classical literary works of Western Europe are for sale in the bookstore.

   正 A large number of classical literary works of Western Europe are on sale in the bookstore.

4. 这种新产品赶在下个月上市吗?

   误 Will the new product be for sale as early as next month?

   正 Will the new product be on sale as early as next month?

   析 on sale和for sale都可以表示“出售的”。for sale的确切含义是“待售”,表示个人行为,通常由物主或代理人经手,且常作为广告张贴用语; on sale通常指商店等出售。

5. 今天的销售额比昨天多。

   误 Today's sale was larger than yesterday's.

   正 Today's sales were larger than yesterday's.

   析 sale作“销售额”解时通常用复数形式。

6. 番茄汤原价一罐12美分,现正以一罐8美分的价格削价出售。

   误 Tomato soup that is usually sold at twelve cents a can is now for sale for eight cents.

   正 Tomato soup that is usually sold at twelve cents a can is now on sale for eight cents.

   析 当表示“削价出售”时,美式英语用on sale,不用for sale。

7. 他在一家公司的销售部门工作。

   误 He works in the sale department of a company.

   正 He works in the sales department of a company.

   析 当sale作名词的定语时,我们常用其复数形式sales,如sales manager等。
