【解答】此字通常是用复数,意为:(1)内面所有的东西、内容、囊中物,例如:the contents of a room(房间里面的东西),the contents of a box(箱子里的东西),the contents of a bag(囊中物),the contents of a bottle(瓶中物)等。(2)书籍、报纸、杂志、公文等的内容,或内容的目录,例如:the contents of a book(书的内容),a table of contents(目录), A complete contents is to be found in Volume I.(第一卷有全部目录)等。
1704795721
1704795722
用单数时,意为:(1)要旨(essential purport),真义(real meaning),例如:the content of a chapter(一章的要旨),the content of a statement(声明要旨)等。(2)与形式(form)对称的内容(substance),例如:the emotional content of a poem(一首诗的感情丰富的内容)。
1704795723
1704795724

此字的单复数在用法上还有一种分别,即单数多用于抽象的内容,如:the content of the course(课程的内容),而复数则用于具体的内容,如: A bag with its precious contents was missing.(一个内有重要物品的皮包不见了。)但对同一物有时用单数来指“容量”,用复数来指“内容”也是可以的,如量米的斗,它的 content(容量)是一斗,内面也许只有五升米,我们就说它现在的 contents(内容)是五升。又如张其春著的《翻译之艺术》一书,它的 content(内容)是谈的翻译,而它的 contents(目录)则是三章,每章七节。
1704795731
1704795732
