exchange

🇺🇸 /ɪkstʃˈeɪndʒ/

noun 编号: E01737 牛津3000 BNC #1084 COCA #1513

exchange 的核心是“双方把东西、信息或动作互相换过去”，可表示交换行为、交易场所、交谈，也可作动词表示交换或更换。

💡 记忆钩子

想象两个人站在一条线的两端，把手里的东西同时递给对方：这就是“交换”。递的是物品或位置，就是交易、换货；递的是话语、目光或火力，就是交谈或相互发出；在棋局里，双方各吃掉一个棋子也是交换；把旧物递回去、拿新物回来，则是“更换”。

📝 学习建议

先掌握动词“交换某物”和“用A换B”，再掌握名词“交换”；名词的抽象用法都可回到“双方互相递送”的画面。
不要把 exchange 只理解成普通的“改变”；它通常包含双方、对价或来回互动。表示单方面把旧物改成新物时，要特别注意“用A换B”的结构。

📖 中文释义

noun

core 交换；互换

📖 指双方把物品、位置、服务或价值相近的东西互相换给对方，重点在来回交换这件事。

💡 常用“an exchange of A for B”表示“用A换B”，也可说“in exchange for A”表示“作为换取A的条件”。“exchange”作可数名词时指一次具体交换，作不可数名词时指交换这一活动；不要把它当作只表示价格变化的词。

countable uncountable

The two teams agreed to an exchange of players.

两队同意互换球员。

She gave me her old camera in exchange for my tablet.

她用她的旧相机换了我的平板电脑。
common 交易所；交易场所

📖 指集中进行买卖或交换的机构、市场或场所，常见于股票和商品交易。

💡 常见搭配是“the stock exchange”和“foreign exchange market”，通常在 exchange 前加具体类别。指机构或场所时可数，不要把它误解成一次普通的交换行为；金融语境中也常缩写为外汇相关的 exchange。

countable uncountable

The company plans to list its shares on the stock exchange.

这家公司计划在证券交易所上市。
rare 电话交换局

📖 这是 telephone exchange 的省略，指接通和转接电话的通信系统或中心。

💡 通常只在电话通信或工程语境中使用，前面常有“telephone”所暗示的上下文。现代日常英语中，人们更常说电话网络、交换机或呼叫中心；不要把这里的 exchange 理解成换东西。

countable uncountable
core 交谈；言语交锋

📖 指双方来回说话、提问或争论的一段互动；交换的不是物品，而是话语。

💡 常见结构是“an exchange with someone”或“an exchange of words”；“a brief exchange”表示短暂交谈。它可用于中性对话，也可用于争执，但正式度通常比单说 conversation 稍高；不要理解成双方必须交换实物。

countable uncountable

I had a brief exchange with the receptionist before the meeting.

开会前我和接待员简短交谈了几句。

Their heated exchange attracted everyone's attention.

他们激烈的争执吸引了所有人的注意。
rare （棋局中）兑子

📖 在棋类游戏中，指双方各损失一个棋子，并把对方的棋子吃掉；这是“互相交换”的特殊用法。

💡 常见于“an exchange of pieces”或“win the exchange”等棋类表达，语境通常会明确是国际象棋或其他棋局。不要把任何一次吃子都叫作 exchange，重点是双方各失去一个棋子。

countable uncountable
rare （棋局中）这次兑子

📖 与上一义相同，常在特定棋局中用定冠词指双方已经进行或正在讨论的那次兑子。

💡 通常出现在“the exchange”这类带定冠词的棋类表达中，必须依靠上下文确定是哪次兑子。它不是普通“交换”的固定新义；初学时先掌握棋类中的一般概念即可。

countable uncountable usually with-definite-article
rare 交换所得物

📖 指拿来交换或作为交换回报而得到的东西，尤其可指与另一出版物互换的刊物；这一用法已经过时。

💡 多见于历史文献或旧式书面语，现代英语通常改用“thing received in return”或直接说明交换的物品。不要把现代商业语境中的 exchange 默认理解成“交换所得物”。

countable obsolete uncountable
rare 物质交换

📖 在生物、化学等领域，指气体、离子或其他物质彼此转移，有时经过细胞膜等表面。

💡 常见于“gas exchange”“ion exchange”和“exchange across a membrane”等术语中，名词前通常说明交换的物质或发生位置。它是技术义，不表示日常买卖；翻译时要根据具体对象译成“交换、转运”或“交换过程”。

countable uncountable
common 汇兑差额；外汇交易

📖 指不同地点或货币之间的价值换算所产生的差别，或围绕这种换算进行的外汇交易。它仍然保留了“把一种价值换成另一种价值”的核心。

💡 常见于“foreign exchange”“exchange rate”和“at a favorable exchange”等金融搭配，具体含义要看周围是否谈到汇率或货币。不要把 exchange 单独稳定地译成“汇率”，因为“汇率”通常是 exchange rate。

countable uncountable

We lost some money because of the unfavorable exchange rate.

由于汇率不利，我们损失了一些钱。
rare 交换合同

📖 在英国部分地区的法律用语中，是 exchange of contracts 的简称，指交换合同这一法律步骤。

💡 只用于英格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰的房地产法律语境，常出现在买卖房产的流程说明中。日常英语中不要用它表示一般合同交换；面向普通读者时通常写出完整的法律短语。

exchanges plural

verb

core 交换；互换

📖 指双方把物品、位置或价值互相换给对方，是名词“交换”变成动作后的基本用法。

💡 使用“exchange A for B”表示“用A换B”，使用“exchange A with B”表示“与B交换A”。exchange 后通常直接接交换的东西；不要说成“exchange to B”来表示“换成B”。

transitive

I'll exchange my seat for yours if you prefer the window.

如果你更喜欢靠窗的座位，我可以和你换。

The children exchanged gifts after the party.

聚会后孩子们互相交换了礼物。
common 相互发出；交锋

📖 把“互相交换”扩展到话语、目光、笑容、炮火等抽象或动作对象，表示双方来回施加同一种动作。

💡 常见搭配是“exchange words/glances/smiles/fire”，主语通常是两个个人或群体。这个用法常带有正式或书面色彩，尤其是“exchange fire”；不要把它理解成双方真的把某件物品交给对方。

figuratively transitive

The two leaders exchanged angry words during the debate.

两位领导人在辩论中互相说了些气话。
core 更换；换成

📖 指把原来的物品退回或拿走，再换取另一件作为替代品；画面仍是把旧物递回、把新物接回来。

💡 最常用的结构是“exchange A for B”，其中A是被换掉的东西，B是换来的东西。商店语境中常说“exchange an item for a different size”，不要误写成“exchange B to A”；若只是修理或改变物品，不一定能用 exchange。

transitive

Can I exchange this jacket for a smaller size?

我可以把这件夹克换成小一号的吗？

He exchanged his ticket for one on an earlier train.

他把车票换成了更早一班火车的票。
rare 交换合同

📖 在英国部分地区的法律语境中，指完成合同交换这一正式步骤。

💡 通常出现在房地产买卖中，常与“contracts”连用或由上下文省略。它是地区性法律简称，日常交流中应使用完整说法；不要把它当作普通的“交换合同”动词。

England Northern-Ireland Wales abbreviation alt-of clipping
rare 互相推荐

📖 指双方互相提供推荐或让对方获得推荐，本质上是把推荐作为一种信息和帮助来回交换。

💡 常用“exchange recommendations”或“exchange referrals”等结构，具体对象要由上下文说明。这个义项不如“交换物品”和“交换意见”常见，不能用来泛指所有“推荐”；普通场合更自然的说法往往是“recommend something to someone”。

🌳 词源

源自中古英语，经过古法语和盎格鲁-诺曼语，最终与拉丁语中表示“出去、交换”的成分有关；现代拼写后来受 ex- 影响。

From Middle English eschaungen, from Anglo-Norman eschaungier, Old French eschanger, from the Old French verb eschangier, eschanger (whence modern French échanger), from Vulgar Latin *excambiāre (from Latin ex with Late Latin cambiō). Gradually displaced native Old English wrixlan, wixlan (“to change, exchange, reciprocate”) and its descendants, wrixle being one of them.
