  • 词义辨析
  • condition, circumstance, situation, state
  • 这四个词都有“情况,状态,条件,状况”的意思。它们的区别在于:state是普通用语,指“情况,状态”,其存在形式并不是具体事物; situation指危急或重大的事态,侧重“事态”,也指“职位,职业”; condition和state相比意义较狭隘,指在思考中的事物的状态,“环境”所影响的“情况”,特指事物内部的条件和状态,用复数时指比较一般、笼统的情况,侧重于“状况”; circumstance指某种事件或动作发生时的情况,一般都用复数形式。例如:
    The country is in a troubled state.这个国家处于紊乱的状态中。
    Measures must be taken to meet this situation.必须设法应付这个局面。
    He is applying for a situation.他正在请求得到一个位置。
    The oranges may soon rot under present conditions.橘子在目前的状态下会很快腐烂的。
    I don't remember all the circumstances of the quarrel.我不记得争吵的所有情况。
