charles

🇺🇸 /tʃˈɑɹlz/ 🇬🇧 /t͡ʃɑːlz/

name 编号: C01087 BNC #1098

Charles 是英语中的男性名字，也可作父系姓氏，并用于英国、美国和厄瓜多尔的一些地名。

💡 记忆钩子

把 Charles 想成一个人的名字：最初是男性名，后来可以变成家族姓氏；再往外扩展，还能被用来命名村落、社区和岛屿。厄瓜多尔的 Charles 这个岛名，则和英国国王查理二世有关。

📝 学习建议

先掌握 Charles 作为男性名字的用法，再记作姓氏和地名的用法。
不要把 Charles 当作普通名词翻译；它通常保留为人名或地名，并根据具体人物译作相应的中文名。

📖 中文释义

name

core 男性名字

📖 Charles 最常见的用法是男性名字，和中文里的男性名字作用相同，用来指一个具体的人。

💡 常见格式是 Charles + 姓氏，或直接用 Charles 称呼、介绍某人。它是专名，通常不加冠词，也不能像普通名词一样随意变成复数；若要说几个叫这个名字的人，要改用更明确的表达。

countable uncountable

Charles is waiting for us outside.

查尔斯正在外面等我们。

Charles Brown moved to London last year.

common 父系姓氏

📖 Charles 也可以是家族姓氏，通常表示这个姓氏最初来自某位名叫 Charles 的男性的后代。

💡 常见格式是名字 + Charles，例如某人的名字在前、Charles 在后。作为姓氏时仍需大写，并且一般不加冠词；不要因为它也能作名字，就默认句中的 Charles 指名字而不是姓氏。

countable uncountable

Ms. Charles will lead the meeting today.

查尔斯女士今天将主持会议。
