詞語辨析
game, match, play, sport, tournament
這組詞的共同意思是“運動,競技,比賽”。其區別在於:
⒈sport一般指體力運動,如爬山、滑水、釣魚等; game指常有一定的規則,而且決定勝負的腦力或體力勞動的“競技”; match多指網球、足球、高爾夫球等運動項目的比賽,常用在英國; play泛指無目的或結果的消遣或娛樂活動; tournament指通過不同級別的比賽而奪魁的體育項目“比賽”“錦標賽”“聯賽”。例如:
Swimming, fishing and horse racing are his favorite sports.游泳、釣魚和賽馬是他最喜歡的運動。
The golf match will be held tomorrow morning.明天上午舉行高爾夫球賽。
Which side won the football game yesterday?昨天的足球賽哪一隊贏了?
He is fond of play.他喜歡玩。
The International Table Tennis Friendship Invitational Tournament will be held in China .國際桌球友誼邀請賽將在中國舉行。
⒉sport和game既可指室內也可指室外的活動; match和tournament一般指室外活動。
⒊網球賽一局稱game,加起來稱為match。
下面兩個短語意思不同:
play games
做遊戲
play the game
守規矩
正誤解析
⒈在這個保護區內不允許打獵。
[誤] People are not allowed to hunt any games in the protective area.
[正] People are not allowed to hunt any game in the protective area.
[析] game表示“獵物”時,是不可數名詞,因此在詞尾加s是錯誤的。
⒉西洋棋是一種節奏很慢的遊戲。
[誤] Chess is a very slow play.
[正] Chess is a very slow game.
這劇本是誰寫的?
[誤] Who wrote the game?
[正] Who wrote the play?
[析] game的意思是“遊戲”,西洋棋、足球和橋牌等都屬遊戲類。play的意思是“劇本”,指為劇場或電視演出而寫的文藝作品。
