change

★★★★★
🇺🇸 /tʃˈeɪndʒ/ 🇬🇧 /ˈt͡ʃeɪnd͡ʒ/
noun 编号: C01017 牛津3000 BNC #226 COCA #306
change 的核心是“变得不同”或“把一个东西换成另一个”：作名词时还常指变化、替换物以及买东西后找回的钱。
💡 记忆钩子
把 change 想成“把手里的东西换个样子或换个位置”：事物本身变了，是“变化”；主动把它换掉，是“替换”；把大面额换成零钱、付款后拿回余额，也是“换钱”。这个“换”的画面还延伸到换衣服、换乘车辆等。
📝 学习建议
  • 先掌握“变化、改变、替换、零钱或找零”这条主线，再学习换衣服和换乘等固定用法。
  • 不要把 change 只理解成“改变”；在钱的语境中，它既可以指零钱，也可以指找回的余额，需结合上下文区分。
📖 中文释义
noun
  • core 变化
    📖 指人、事物或情况逐渐或突然变得不同，重点是“从原来的状态变了”。
    💡 常用句型是“a change in + 事物”或“a change from A to B”。它既可指一次具体变化，也可指笼统的变化过程；不要误解为只表示主动改变，事物自行变动也可以用它。
    countable uncountable
    The product is undergoing a change to improve its design.
    这款产品正在进行改进设计的变化。
    There has been a big change in the weather.
    天气发生了很大的变化。
  • common 零钱；换开的钱
    📖 指把大面额纸币换成较小面额纸币或硬币时得到的零钱，强调“把钱换小”。
    💡 常用“get change for + 面额”或“change for a bill”。这里通常不可数；如果只是说付款后商家退回的钱，应优先考虑“找零”那个意思，而不是本义的换零钱。
    uncountable
    Could you give me change for a fifty-dollar bill?
    你能帮我把五十美元换成零钱吗？
  • common 替换物；换下来的东西
    📖 指用来替代原来那件东西的新东西，或一次替换所涉及的物品，例如换洗衣服。
    💡 常用“a change of + 名词”，尤其是“a change of clothes”。这里的 change 是可数名词，不能简单理解成“变化”；若强调动作本身，应改用动词。
    countable
    Pack a change of clothes in case your shirt gets wet.
    带一套换洗衣服，以防你的衬衫被弄湿。
  • core 找零
    📖 指付款金额超过商品价格后，商家退回的差额；它也是“换钱”这个核心画面在买东西场景中的延伸。
    💡 常用“give/get/receive change”或“in change”，也可说“your change”。通常不可数；不要把“找零”误说成表示把大钞换成零钱的“change for a bill”。
    uncountable
    The cashier gave me two dollars in change.
    收银员找给我两美元。
    Please check your change before leaving the shop.
    离开商店前请检查找零是否正确。
  • common 现金；零钱
    📖 泛指身上带着的现金，通常想到硬币，但也可以泛指纸币和硬币。
    💡 常用“have/carry/do you have any change”，通常不可数。它强调“身上有没有现金”，不一定表示要把大钞换开；需要表达具体金额时应直接说金额。
    uncountable
    I don't have any change, so I'll pay by card.
    我身上没有现金，所以要刷卡付款。
  • common 换乘
    📖 指旅途中从一辆火车、公共汽车等交通工具换到另一辆，重点是交通工具发生转换。
    💡 常用“a change at + 地点”表示在某地换乘，也可说“one change”表示需要换乘一次。这个意思主要见于交通行程说明；不要把它理解成车辆本身发生变化。
    countable
    The trip takes three hours with one change at York.
    这趟旅程需要三个小时，并要在约克换乘一次。
  • rare 棒球变速球
    📖 棒球术语，指一种投球变化；它借用了“改变球速或球路”的核心概念。
    💡 通常只在棒球报道、比赛解说或训练语境中使用，常和表示投球的动词搭配。日常谈论一般的变化时不要使用这个专门义。
    countable uncountable
  • rare 钟声变调排列
    📖 钟乐术语，指多口钟以不同于普通音阶的顺序敲响所形成的排列。
    💡 只在钟乐、音乐史或相关学术材料中出现，通常和表示敲钟、排列的词连用。普通语境中的“变化”不能用这个专门义来理解。
    countable uncountable
  • rare 小酒馆
    📖 苏格兰旧用法，指供应啤酒等酒类的公共酒馆；这是从“换钱或交易的地方”引申出的历史用法。
    💡 带有苏格兰、过时色彩，主要见于历史文献或方言材料。现代日常英语中不要用它指普通酒馆。
    Scotland countable dated uncountable
changes plural
verb
  • core 改变；变成
    📖 表示某人或某物从一种状态变成另一种状态，主语可以自己发生变化，不一定有人主动操作。
    💡 表示变成某种状态时常用“change into + 名词”或“change from A to B”。它通常是不及物用法；不要在只表示自行变化时随意在后面直接加宾语。
    intransitive
    The tadpole changed into a frog.
    蝌蚪变成了青蛙。
    The leaves change color in autumn.
    树叶在秋天会变色。
  • core 使改变；把……变成……
    📖 表示主动把某物改造成不同的状态或形式，是“让东西换个样子”的动作。
    💡 常用“change A into B”表示把 A 变成 B，也可用“change A from B to C”。这是及物用法，不能和只表示主语自行变化的不及物结构混淆。
    ergative transitive
    A fresh coat of paint changed the room into a brighter space.
    重新刷一层漆把房间变成了更明亮的空间。
    The editor changed the article from a report into a story.
    编辑把这篇文章从报道改成了故事。
  • common 替换
    📖 指拿新的东西换掉旧的或坏的东西，重点不是改变其性质，而是让另一个东西接替它。
    💡 常用“change + 物品”或“change A for B”。在要求更换灯泡、轮胎等物品时，宾语直接放在动词后；不要把它和只表示“修理”混为一谈。
    transitive
    Could you change the battery in the remote?
    你能把遥控器里的电池换掉吗？
  • common 换衣服
    📖 指人脱下原来的衣服并换上另一套衣服，是“把身上的东西换掉”的固定用法。
    💡 常用“change”或“change into + 衣物”，表示某人自己换衣服时通常不带宾语。不要只说成一般的“改变”；在日常场景中它常特指换衣服。
    intransitive
    I'll change into something warmer before we go outside.
    我们出门前我会换上暖和一点的衣服。
  • common 给某人换衣物或尿布
    📖 表示替别人换衣服，尤其是给婴儿换干净的尿布；这里是主动替对方完成替换。
    💡 常用“change + 人”表示给某人换衣服或尿布，也可补充具体物品。不要把它误解成“让某人改变性格”；具体含义由婴儿、尿布或衣服等上下文决定。
    transitive
    Dad is changing the baby after lunch.
    午饭后爸爸正在给宝宝换尿布。
  • common 换乘
    📖 指乘坐火车、公共汽车等途中下车，再换乘另一辆交通工具继续行程。
    💡 常用“change at + 地点”或“change trains/buses”，表示在某处换车或换乘。这里通常是不及物用法；不要把交通工具本身当作被改变的宾语。
    intransitive
    We change at Central Station for the train to the airport.
    我们要在中央车站换乘去机场的火车。
  • rare 交换
    📖 较古旧的用法，表示互相交换东西或目光，仍然保留“把一个换给另一个”的核心意思。
    💡 现代英语中通常用更明确的交换表达，这个用法主要出现在旧文学或历史语境中。若要表达日常交换，不要优先使用这个带古旧色彩的义项。
    archaic
  • rare 换马
    📖 骑马术语，指骑手改用另一匹马，属于“替换交通工具”的专门用法。
    💡 常见于骑马、赛马或历史叙述语境，后面可接表示马的宾语。普通交通换乘应使用换乘义，不要把这两个用法混在一起。

🌳 词源
来自中古英语，经古法语追溯到拉丁语，最初与“交换、变换”有关；名词和动词都源于同一词源。
Proto-Indo-European *kh₂em-? Proto-Indo-European *(s)ḱh₂embos Proto-Celtic *kambosder. Gaulish cambionbor. Latin cambium Proto-Indo-European *-h₂ Proto-Indo-European *-éh₂ Proto-Indo-European *-yéti Proto-Indo-European *-eh₂yéti Proto-Indo-European *-h₂tiinflu. Proto-Italic *-ājō Proto-Italic *-āō Latin -ō Late Latin cambiō Late Latin cambiāreder. Old French changierder. Anglo-Norman chaungerbor. Middle English chaungen English change From Middle English changen, chaungen, from Old French changier, from Late Latin cambiāre, from Latin cambīre (“to exchange, barter”), derived from the noun cambium (“change”) (whence was loaned the English doublet cambium), from Gaulish cambion, earlier *kambyom (“change”), related to Proto-Celtic *kambos (“twisted, crooked”), possibly from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ḱh₂(e)mbos, *(s)kh₂(e)mbos (“crooked”). More at skimp, scam; see also Proto-Indo-European *kh₂em-. Cognate with Italian cambiare, Portuguese cambiar, Romanian schimba, Sicilian canciari, Spanish cambiar. Used in English since the 13th century. Displaced Middle English wenden, from wendan (“to turn, change”) (whence wend). The noun is from Middle English change, chaunge, from Old French change, from the verb changier. See also exchange. Possibly related from the same source is Old English gombe.
