3、material, matter, substance
這三個(gè)詞組都可作“物質(zhì),材料”講。
material:“物質(zhì),物資,材料”,一般指具物理成份,構(gòu)成某具體物體的物質(zhì),尤指人造物品的制作材料;有時(shí)則引申為現(xiàn)實(shí)觀念或現(xiàn)實(shí)的根據(jù)或基礎(chǔ)。如:raw material原材料,指能夠進(jìn)一步加工的物質(zhì),也指可以被進(jìn)一步利用的事件,觀念等,例如用作文學(xué)素材。With the development of industry, the consumption of raw material by industry has been rising surprisingly.隨著工業(yè)的發(fā)展,工業(yè)所消耗的原材料增長(zhǎng)驚人。They discovered that they could weave the wool into the material, which can be made into warm coats and suits.他們發(fā)現(xiàn)可以把羊毛紡成衣料,再把衣料制成暖和的外套和西裝。
matter:“物質(zhì),內(nèi)容”,基本上指某種實(shí)體或構(gòu)成所有客觀事物的“物質(zhì)”,與精神相對(duì);也指與形式相對(duì)的“內(nèi)容”。常用短語(yǔ):a matter of course 理所當(dāng)然的事, matter-of-fact 講求實(shí)際的。The matter in your composition is quite good, but the writing is not lucid enough.你的作文內(nèi)容很好,但文字不夠清楚。We know nothing about force or energy, nor of any physical phenomenon, except through the agency of matter. 要是不通過(guò)物質(zhì)這個(gè)媒介,我們對(duì)力或能會(huì)一無(wú)所知,更不會(huì)了解任何物理現(xiàn)象。
substance:“物質(zhì),東西",常指具有某種物理或化學(xué)性質(zhì)的特殊物質(zhì),或指構(gòu)成某物,并賦予某種特性的物質(zhì);還可指 “重要的”或“實(shí)際性的”內(nèi)
