n.(名詞)

symbol, mark, sign, token

這組詞都可表示“符號,標志”。其區別是：

1.symbol指作為象征或表達某種深邃意義的特殊事物; sign指代表具有固定意義的一種簡明的符號或標志; mark指在其他事物上留下的清晰可見的印痕或先天固有的標志; token指表示愛情、友誼等的紀念物或禮品等。例如:

She had a silver peace symbol hanging on a chain around her neck.她有一個銀制的和平標志掛在項鏈上。

She put her finger to her lips as a sign to be quiet.她將手指放在唇上表示應安靜。

He gave his wife a ring as a token of his love.他給他愛人一枚戒指,作為愛情的象征。

2.sign與symbol相比較, sign的含義簡單明了,容易體察,而symbol卻含義深邃復雜。例如:

I could not write my name, so I made the sign of the cross.我不會寫我的名字,就畫了一個十字。

3.token和sign的意思相同,但token比sign莊嚴文雅,通常用于嚴肅的場合,在一般情況下可以用sign代替。例如:

Jenny's husband gave her a ring as a token of their first meeting.珍妮的丈夫送她一枚戒指紀念他們的初次見面。

☆ 1434年進入英語，直接源自后期拉丁語的symbolum，意為信條，信物；最初源自古希臘語的symbolon，意為切口，暗號。
