edward

🇺🇸 /ˈɛdwɚd/ 🇬🇧 /ˈɛdwəd/

name 编号: E00575 BNC #1377

Edward 是英语男性名，也可作姓氏；另指历史上以英国国王之名铸造的一种金币。

💡 记忆钩子

把 Edward 想成“守护财富的人”：词源中的“财富”和“守卫”合在一起，先成为男性名字，再延伸为家族姓氏；在历史语境中，它还可以指以爱德华国王之名铸造的金币。

📝 学习建议

先掌握 Edward 作为男性名的用法，再注意它也能作姓氏；看到大写首字母时通常不要把它当作普通名词翻译。
指金币的用法带有明显历史色彩，现代日常英语中通常不会这样使用。

📖 中文释义

name

core 男性名

📖 Edward 是英语中的男性名字，中文通常音译为“爱德华”。它首先是一个人的专名，用来指名为 Edward 的男性，而不是描述某种性格或身份。

💡 用于男性姓名时，通常置于姓氏前，如“Edward Brown”，也可以单独称呼某人。它的首字母必须大写，因为这是专名。不要把它当作普通名词，也不要在前面加表示“一位”的词来使用。

Edward is meeting us at the station.

爱德华要在车站和我们见面。
common 姓氏

📖 Edward 也可以是英语姓氏，表示一个家族的姓。这个用法比作男性名字少见，但在全名、家谱或人物资料中仍可能遇到。

💡 作姓氏时通常位于名字之后，如“Michael Edward”，但具体姓名顺序要看所在文化和姓名格式。它仍要首字母大写，不能因为位于句末就改成小写。不要自动把所有 Edward 都理解为名字，要结合它在全名中的位置判断。

uncommon

Dr Edward will speak at the conference.

爱德华博士将在会议上发言。

noun

rare 爱德华金币

📖 Edward 在历史语境中可指英国某位 Edward 在位时期铸造的金币；这里是由国王的名字转成钱币名称的用法。

💡 通常出现在历史叙述、钱币收藏或博物馆说明中，并常与表示铸造、年代或收藏的词语搭配。它不是现代通用的货币名称，日常交流中几乎不会这样使用。
