business, affair, concern, matter, thing

这组词在含糊地指那些所做的事时意义相近,常可互换。例如：

It is a regretful affair〔business, concern, matter, thing〕.这是一件遗憾的事。

I don't talk to her about private affairs〔business, concerns, matters, things〕.我从不和她谈私事。

它们之间的区别在于：

1.从模糊程度上看, affair＜matter＜thing, thing的词义最不确切,常可用在有意使概念含混不清的场合。例如：

How did you find things in America?你觉得美国怎样?

2.从含义上看, affair强调运行或操作过程,如一道程序,一笔交易,一个行动,一项事业等。business强调职责关系,例如：

It is her business to take good care of the baby.看护好这个婴儿是她的职责。

concern强调利害相关,例如：

It is no concern of mine.此事与我无关。

matter强调必须考虑和处理,例如：

We have a lot of matters to do.我们有许多事情要做。

thing则是一般用语,口语中常表示说话内容预先未考虑好或说话者力图掩饰自己的观点,例如：

I've another thing to talk with you.我还有一件事跟你说。

3.从用法上看, business不能用复数,而affair在指重大的或头绪较多的事务时则需要用复数。

4.从搭配范围上看,与foreign、international、state等词连用时只能用affair,在短语have an affair with sb (与某人有不正当男女关系)中也只能用affair。在指商业上的生意和活动或指“公事”“正事”时只能用business,例如：

It's a pleasure to do business with you.很高兴和你做生意。

Business before pleasure.公事比娱乐要紧。

口语中作“出了毛病”“失常”解时,只能用matter而不能用affair和business,例如：

What's the matter with you?你怎么啦?

在泛指“东西”“物品”时,用affair和thing均可。例如：

And these Tubes were convenient things〔affairs〕.而这地下铁道是非常方便的东西。

business, industry

industry和business的区别在于:industry既可以作可数名词又可以作不可数名词,而business只能作不可数名词。industry指整个行业或所有的工业,范围广,而business只指从事商品流通活动,包括以物易物、购物、批发和零售等,有时也包括金融交易。例如:

Chinese industry is rapidly expanding.中国的工业正在迅速发展。

She wants to go into business when she leaves college.她大学毕业后想经商。

business, occupation, profession, trade, vocation

这组词都有“职业,工作”的意思。它们之间的区别是：business使用广泛,在日常生活中,可泛指“事情”,尤指自己负责管理的事情; 在社会经济生活中,多指生意,尤指以赢利为目的的买卖或商业中的工作。occupation可以泛指各种专业。profession指必须受过相当高的教育或专门训练才能从事的知识性职业,如律师、医生、建筑师等。vocation指专心从事的业务,除谋生的行业外,还包括专门爱好。trade则是指涉及体力或手工劳动、手工操作机械或工具的职业。例如:

That's no business of yours.那事与你无关。

Mind your own business.管你自己的事,少管闲事。

A lot of the U.S. small grocers have gone out of business since the advent of the supermarkets.超级市场一出现,大批美国食品杂货店就歇业了。

She left her teaching profession and became a secretary.她放弃教书的职业改行当了秘书。

Mr. Brown is a lawyer by profession.布朗先生的职业是律师。

He chose painting as his vocation.他以绘画为专业。

He is in the silk trade.他做丝绸生意。

business, busyness

这两个词仅一个字母之差,读音和意思却迥然不同。business读作 ［'bIznəs］ ,意为“生意”“商业”“任务”; 而busyness读作 ［'bIzInəs］ ,意为“忙碌”“繁忙”。

talk business, talk shop

这两个短语意思不同:talk business是“讲正经事”的意思; 而talk shop作“讲行话”解。试比较:

They have a habit of talking shop.

他们一开口总是三句话不离本行。

We are willing to listen if you are going to talk business.

讲点正经的,我们倒愿意听听。

下面每组中两个短语的意思不同：

go into business

经商

get down business

干正经事，谈正经事

in business

经商；在商界

on business

因公；办理事务

affair，business，matter，concern，thing

business通常指较重要或较难而又必须承担的事情，也可指商事。

matter普通用词，着重指一件考虑中的或需要处理的事。

concern往往强调与个人或团体利害有直接或重大关系的事。

thing用作“事情”解时，词义较笼统、含糊，多用于指不很具体的事。

business，commerce，trade，bargain，deal

这些名词均含“贸易，交易”之意。

business指包括售货、购货、换货在内的综合商业活动，方式可以是批发或零售。

commerce多指大规模的买卖或易货关系。
