词义辨析

v. (动词)

supplement, complement

• 这组词都有“补充”的意思。其区别是：
• supplement指对已很完整的事物作增补,以使其进一步改进、丰富、提高。尽管所增加的东西对原事物的完全或完整并不是非有不可的,也不一定是相互依存的; 而complement则含有“使…完全〔完整〕”的意思,意味着它作为补充的东西是必不可少的,加上它才使被补充的东西更完备,更完美。

addition，appendix，attachment，supplement，accessory

• 这些名词均含“附加物、增加物”之意。
• addition仅强调数量的增加。
• appendix指书末的附录。
• attachment指用于扩大原物用途的附件。
• supplement主要指使书、报等正文更完善而额外增加的部分。
• accessory作“附件”解时，与attachment同义，可互换，但还指增加美观的附属品。

词源解说

• ☆ 14世纪晚期进入英语，直接源自拉丁语的supplementum，意为增补。
