care

★★★★★
🇺🇸 /kˈɛɹ/ 🇬🇧 /kɛə/
name 编号: C00439 牛津3000 BNC #505 COCA #434
care 的核心是“在意并投入注意”：可以指关心、担忧，也可以指照料、维护以及对他人的护理；作动词时表示在意、想要或照顾。
💡 记忆钩子
把 care 想成一双始终放在某人或某事上的手：手放上去是“在意、关注”，因此也会产生“担忧”；继续伸手去做就是“照料、维护和护理”。作动词则是“把心放在某事上”，所以既能表示在意，也能表示愿意、想要或负责照顾。
📝 学习建议
  • 先掌握“在意”和“照顾”这条主线，再学习表示维护、护理和担忧的名词用法。
  • 不要把 care 一律理解成“照顾”；在否定句中常表示“不在意”，而 care for 既可能是“照顾”，也可能是“喜欢或想要”。
📖 中文释义
name
  • common 姓氏
    📖 Care 可以是英语姓氏，表示一个人的家族姓。
    💡 通常写作大写的 Care，并与名字一起使用。不要因为它看起来像普通词，就在姓名中把它翻译成“关心”或“照料”。
    Dr. Care will speak at the meeting.
    Care 医生将在会上发言。
Cares plural
noun
  • core 关心；注意；责任
    📖 表示把注意力和责任放在某人或某事上，认真对待它并小心处理。
    💡 常见结构是 take care with/of something、with care，表示“谨慎处理”或“照料”。它既可表示态度上的关心，也可表示实际承担的责任，不要只译成“注意力”。
    countable uncountable
    Care should be taken when holding babies.
    抱婴儿时要小心。
    She handled the old vase with great care.
    她非常小心地拿着那个旧花瓶。
  • common 忧虑；烦恼
    📖 当心一直放在令人不安的事情上时，care 就表示担忧或烦恼。
    💡 常见于 have a care、without a care 和 not have a care in the world 等结构。这里不是“照顾”，而是心里的忧虑；不要把 carelessly 相关的“粗心”误当成这个名词义。
    countable uncountable
    After the exam, he went home without a care in the world.
    考试结束后，他毫无忧虑地回家了。
  • common 维护；保养
    📖 表示持续投入注意和行动，使某物保持良好状态，例如牙齿、皮肤或设备的维护。
    💡 常见搭配是 dental care、skin care、vehicle care 等，通常放在名词前作修饰语。这里强调长期维护，不一定涉及生病或专业医疗。
    uncountable
    Regular dental care can prevent many problems.
    定期的牙齿护理可以预防许多问题。
  • core 护理；照护服务
    📖 表示为有需要的人提供持续的帮助、保护和治疗，尤其指医疗或社会照护工作。
    💡 常见搭配是 patient care、medical care、child care 和 health care。它可以指一整套服务或职业领域，不要只理解成一次具体的“照顾动作”。
    uncountable
    The hospital provides excellent patient care.
    这家医院提供很好的患者护理服务。
  • common 受照护状态
    📖 表示某人由他人、机构或社会服务负责照料和保护的状态。
    💡 最常见的结构是 in care，尤其用于儿童或需要社会服务保护的人。它强调“处于照护安排中”，而不是泛指有人对其表示关心。
    uncountable
    The child has been in care since last year.
    这个孩子从去年起就一直由社会照护机构照料。
  • rare 牵挂；忧心的对象
    📖 指被密切关注或令人忧虑的人、事或问题，是从“在意”发展出的较旧用法。
    💡 多见于文学或较旧的表达，现代日常英语通常改用 concern、worry 或 problem。不要把它和普通的 care for“照顾”混为一谈。
    countable uncountable
  • rare 悲伤；哀愁
    📖 指强烈的悲伤或哀痛，是“忧虑、牵挂”在古旧文学语境中的延伸。
    💡 主要出现在古典诗歌和文学作品中，现代会话中几乎不用。阅读古文时可根据上下文译为“悲伤”或“哀愁”，不要作为日常首选义项。
    countable obsolete uncountable
cares plural
verb
  • core 在意；关心
    📖 表示把心思放在某人或某事上，关心它的结果或看法。
    💡 常用结构是 care about someone/something、care what/why/how 从句，以及 care whether。不要说 care of 来表示“在意”；care of 通常只出现在固定的转交地址格式中。
    intransitive transitive
    She doesn't care what you think.
    她不在意你怎么想。
    I care deeply about my family.
    我非常关心我的家人。
  • common 想要；愿意
    📖 表示想要某物或愿意做某事，常带有礼貌、委婉的语气。
    💡 常见结构是 Would you care for...?，用于礼貌地提供食物、饮料或邀请；care for something 也可表示“喜欢”。不要把它机械理解成“照顾某物”，要看上下文。
    formal intransitive polite
    Would you care for another slice of cake?
    您还想再来一块蛋糕吗？
  • common 在意其影响
    📖 表示某事会不会影响后续决定、行动或结果；否定式可表示“完全不受影响”。
    💡 常见结构是 care whether/if... 或 care about the result。它常用于非正式表达，主语也可以是物或系统；不要把这种用法误解为有感情地“关心”。
    broadly informal intransitive
    The machine doesn't care whether the door is open.
    这台机器不在乎门是不是开着。
  • core 照顾；照料
    📖 表示把注意力和责任落实到行动上，负责保护、喂养或帮助某人或某物。
    💡 固定结构是 care for someone/something，表示“照顾”；care for 也可表示“喜欢”，两义需要靠语境区分。不要漏掉 for，也不要用 care about 表示实际照料。
    intransitive
    Young children can learn to care for a pet.
    小孩子可以学着照顾宠物。
    She stayed home to care for her sick father.
    她留在家里照顾生病的父亲。
  • rare 介意；反对
    📖 在少数地区用法中，表示介意或反对某个行为；有时否定式反而表示“不介意”。
    💡 这是美国阿巴拉契亚地区的方言用法，不能代表普通英语。学习者应优先使用 mind 或 object to 表示“介意”，不要在标准会话中主动套用这种 care。
