n.(名詞)[C]發(fā)生的事情; 大事; 事件 sth that happens; an event
[C]需要做的或需要思考的事情; 事務(wù) sth that you need to do or think about; business

affair的意思是“事,事情,事務(wù)”,含義很廣,可指已經(jīng)發(fā)生的、所關(guān)心的或必須做的任何事情。
affair的復(fù)數(shù)形式(其前不加冠詞)不指許多件事,而指重大的或頭緒較多的事務(wù)。口語中affair(單數(shù))可模糊地或故意模棱兩可地表示“東西”“物品”或“事件”。
affair用于委婉語時指“男女之間的事”,類似于漢語中的“那事兒”。多指不正當男女關(guān)系,也可指正常戀愛。
n.(名詞)affair, business, concern, matter, thing
這組詞在含糊地指那些所做的事時意義相近,常可互換。例如:
It is a regretful affair〔business, concern, matter, thing〕.這是一件遺憾的事。
I don't talk to her about private affairs〔business, concerns, matters, things〕.我從不和她談私事。
它們之間的區(qū)別在于:
1.從模糊程度上看, affair<matter<thing, thing的詞義最不確切,常可用在有意使概念含混不清的場合。例如:
How did you find things in America?你覺得美國怎樣?
2.從含義上看, affair強調(diào)運行或操作過程,如一道程序,一筆交易,一個行動,一項事業(yè)等。business強調(diào)職責(zé)關(guān)系,例如:
It is her business to take good care of the baby.看護好這個嬰兒是她的職責(zé)。
concern強調(diào)利害相關(guān),例如:
It is no concern of mine.此事與我無關(guān)。
matter強調(diào)必須考慮和處理,例如:
We have a lot of matters to do.我們有許多事情要做。
thing則是一般用語,口語中常表示說話內(nèi)容預(yù)先未考慮好或說話者力圖掩飾自己的觀點,例如:
I've another thing to talk with you.我還有一件事跟你說。
3.從用法上看, business不能用復(fù)數(shù),而affair在指重大的或頭緒較多的事務(wù)時則需要用復(fù)數(shù)。
4.從搭配范圍上看,與foreign、international、state等詞連用時只能用affair,在短語have an affair with sb (與某人有不正當男女關(guān)系)中也只能用affair。在指商業(yè)上的生意和活動或指“公事”“正事”時只能用business,例如:
It's a pleasure to do business with you.很高興和你做生意。
Business before pleasure.公事比娛樂要緊。
口語中作“出了毛病”“失常”解時,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“東西”“物品”時,用affair和thing均可。例如:
And these Tubes were convenient things〔affairs〕.而這地下鐵道是非常方便的東西。
☆ 14世紀進入英語,直接源自殖英中世紀諾曼底語的afere,意為人義務(wù)中要做的事情;最初源自古語的afaire,意為去做。
