- wood
- n. [wʊd] ( woods )
- 双解释义
- U 木,木材,木料,木头,木柴 the substance of which the trunks and branches of trees are made, which is cut and used for various purposes, such as burning, making paper or furniture, etc.
- C 树林,林地 a place where trees grow thickly, smaller than a forest
- 基本要点
1.wood的基本意思是“木,木材,木料,木头,木柴”,是物质名词,不可数,当强调种类时,可用于复数形式。“一根木材”是a piece of wood。
2.wood还可作“树林,森林”解,指小片森林,可以是天然林,但更多是指人工培植的森林,多离人烟较近,不一定有野兽,作此解时是可数名词。wood作“树林”解时,在美式英语中既可用于复数形式,也可用于单数形式,在英式英语中一般只用于复数形式。
3.the woods〔the wood〕还可指“木管乐器”。

- 词语辨异
wood, forest
参见forest条。
wood(s), jungle
这两个词都有“森林”的意思。其区别是:wood(s)可译为“树林,丛林”,指面积比较小的森林,而且接近人烟处; jungle指极其稠密、难以通行的热带丛林。例如:
I am fond of rambling about in the woods.我喜欢在林中徘徊。
They cut a path through the jungle.他们在热带丛林中开辟出一条路。
- 正误解析
1.他常去附近的小树林散步。
［误］ He often goes for a walk in the wood nearby.
［正］ He often goes for a walk in the woods nearby.
［析］ 当wood表示“森林”时,常用复数形式。
2.给我找块木头来。
［误］ Please find me a wood.
［正］ Please find me a piece of wood.
［正］ Please find me a block of wood.
［析］ wood是物质名词,不可数。“一块木头”须用a piece of wood或 a block of wood表示。
3.那个国家尚未摆脱困境。
［误］ That country was still in the wood.
［正］ That country wasn't yet out of the wood.
［析］ out of the wood是固定搭配,表示“摆脱困境”,而in the wood无此义。
