词语用法

词义讲解

常见错误

词源解说

n.(名词)

labour是英式英语,美式英语是labor。

labour用作名词时基本意思是“劳动”“努力”,通常指需要花很大力气并使人疲乏的体力劳动,是不可数名词。也可指脑力劳动,但仅限于具体的特殊困难的事情。

labour表示“艰苦的工作”或具体的“工作”“活计”时用复数;表示“工人”“劳工”的总称时用单数。

labour作“分娩,(分娩时的)阵痛”解时,是不可数名词。

“劳动节”可说Labour Day,也可说May Day,其前不用冠词。

Labour等于Labour Party,指“工*”。

v.(动词)

labour的基本意思是“劳动”“工作”,多指日常辛勤的体力劳动,引申可表示“在…上过分花费精力”“仔细地分析解释”“缓慢而艰难地前进”等。

labour既可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。在表示“辛勤工作”时,其主语一般是人,后面可接动词不定式短语作状语。

labour在表示“缓慢而艰难地前进”时,是不及物动词,常与介词through, up, along 等连用,其主语既可以是人,也可以是物。

n.(名词)

labour, toil, work

这组词的共同意思是“劳动”“工作”。其区别在于：

1.labour通常指需要花很大力气并使人疲乏的体力劳动,也可指脑力劳动,但仅限于具体特殊困难的事情。

2.work含义很广,指任何有目的性的劳动,不论劳动的难易、轻重、时间的长短,是体力劳动还是脑力劳动,也可用来指机器等的操作。例如:

He brought work home from the office.他把要做的工作从办公室带回了家。

They had pretty hard work getting the roof of the storehouse repaired before the rain came.他们费了很大劲在下雨前将仓房顶修好。

I have a lot of work to do.我有许多工作要做。

This Association does social work.这个协会从事社会工作。

3.toil一般表示繁重的长时间劳动,带有令人感到非常疲乏的意味。例如:

After much toil the furniture was all in the moving van.经过一番劳累,家具都被搬进了搬运车。

They spent months of toil on the water conservancy project.他们为这个水利工程辛辛苦苦地干了几个月。

The wealth of industrial society could only come from the toil of the masses.工业社会的财富来自群众的辛勤劳动。

n.(名词)

这个国家没有足够的熟练工人。

误 The country has not enough skilled labours.

正 The country has not enough skilled labour.

析 labour作“工人”“劳工”解时,是“工人”的总称,作不可数名词,没有复数形式。

☆ 直接源自古英语的labor，意为劳动。
