words

🇺🇸 /wˈɚdz/ 🇬🇧 /wɜːdz/
noun 编号: W01438
words既可以指说出来或写下来的“话、台词、歌词”,也可以特指与某人发生争执;它还是动词word的第三人称单数现在时形式。
💡 记忆钩子
把words想成一串被说出或写下来的语言:平常是“话”,写在剧本里就是“台词”,配上音乐就是“歌词”;如果这串话带着怒气对着某人说,就成了争吵。作为动词形式时,它表示某人“措辞或表达”。
📝 学习建议
  • 不要把have words with someone按字面理解成“和某人有一些词”;这是固定说法,通常表示与某人争吵或严肃地理论。
  • 先掌握“话、台词、歌词”这条主线,再记住争吵义和动词形式;具体意义主要由搭配和语境决定。
📖 中文释义
noun
  • core 争吵;理论
    📖 在固定表达中,words指带着不满说出的一番话,因此“have words with someone”就是和某人争吵或严肃理论,而不是普通聊天。
    💡 常用句型是“have words with someone”或“have words”,也可说“exchange words”。这个义项通常带有冲突或不满的语气;不要把它理解成单纯地“和某人说话”,正式场合可改用更中性的表达。
    plural plural-only
    I had words with my neighbor about the noise.
    我因为噪音问题和邻居吵了一架。
    She had words with him after he broke his promise.
    他违背诺言后,她狠狠地说了他一顿。
  • common 剧本台词
    📖 在戏剧、电影或排练语境中,words指演员需要说出的剧本台词,也就是写在剧本中的那串话。
    💡 常见句型是“learn、memorize或know one's words”,表示背熟或记住某人的台词。这里通常用复数words,因为它指一整段或一组台词;不要误译成一般意义上的“单词”。
    plural plural-only
    You need to learn your words before the rehearsal.
    你得在排练前背熟自己的台词。
  • common 歌词
    📖 在音乐语境中,words指歌曲中可以唱出来的歌词,与旋律或音乐相对;同一串语言在不同场景中就从普通的话变成了歌词。
    💡 常见句型是“set the words to music”,表示给歌词谱曲,也常和song、music等词一起出现。这个义项专指歌曲的文字部分,不要把它和整首歌混为一谈;整首歌还包括旋律和编曲。
    plural plural-only
    The singer wrote the words, and her brother composed the music.
    歌手写了歌词,她的哥哥创作了音乐。
verb
  • common word的第三人称单数形式
    📖 这里的words不是“话”或“歌词”,而是动词word的变化形式,表示某人用某种方式措辞、组织语言或表达想法。
    💡 常见句型是“someone words something carefully/clearly”,表示某人谨慎或清楚地措辞。它通常需要一个表示内容的宾语;学习时注意主语是第三人称单数时才用words,其他主语使用动词原形。
    form-of indicative present singular third-person
    She words her criticism carefully so that nobody feels attacked.
    她很谨慎地措辞,以免让任何人觉得受到了攻击。
