用法辨析

    n. (名词)

  • character的基本意思是“个性”“特色”。主要指某人、事物或地点所具有的区别于他人、他物、他地点的所有属性,即某人、事物、地点具有的独特的品质或本质,也可指一个人根深蒂固的心理特征的综合,即个人特定的内在本质。多用作可数名词,也可用作不可数名词。
  • character也可指“品行,德性”,如原则性强、诚实等，这时用作不可数名词。
  • character作“人”解时是非正式用法,或谓其古怪滑稽,或含贬义。也可指小说、戏剧中出现的“人物,角色”。
  • character还可作书写或印刷的“字体”“符号”解,“汉字”一般说Chinese characters。
  • character意为“性格”，characteristic是“性格里的特质”，多个characteristics可以合成一个character，而一个人只可以有一个character；
  • 在指人时，在表语用法习惯里有a/an，但在定语用法习惯里没有a/an。You are of a fine character.
  • 在不指人时，在表语或定语用法习惯里通常都有a/an，在定语用法里也有不用a/an，但不普遍。
  • This book is of a literary character.
