n.(名詞)

business的基本意思是指某人為謀利(尤為自己)的“日常工作”或“職業”,引申可表示“職責,事務”。business現在多用來指“商業,生意,貿易”(不可數),引申可表示“商店,商行”(可數)等。business還可用來表示“演員舞臺的動作、表情等”,作“怪事,勾當”解時常用作貶義。

business可用于其他名詞前作定語。

n.(名詞)

business, affair, 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強調運行或操作過程,如一道程序,一筆交易,一個行動,一項事業等。business強調職責關系,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。

concern強調利害相關,例如：

It is no concern of mine.此事與我無關。

matter強調必須考慮和處理,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容預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不能用復數,而affair在指重大的或頭緒較多的事務時則需要用復數。

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系)中也只能用affair。在指商業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。

n.(名詞)他因事已去倫敦。

誤

He has gone to London on a business.

正

He has gone to London on business.

析

可說on business(因事),也可說on a little business(因一件小事),但不可說on a business。
她的丈夫是個實業家。

誤

Her husband is a businessman.

正

Her husband is a man of business.

析

a businessman的意思是“商人”, man of business的意思是“實業家”。
你想干什么,是經商還是當律師?

誤

Which do you want to do, go to business or become a lawyer?

正

Which do you want to do, go into business or become a lawyer?

析

go to business是“去上班”的意思, go into business才是“經商”的意思。
非公莫入。

誤

No admittance except in business.

正

No admittance except on business.

析

in business的意思是“經商”, on business才是“因公,因事”的意思。
