💡专业提示

区分‘competitor’与‘opponent’

‘competitor’强调在同一领域内公平竞争的对手,如商业竞争或体育比赛;‘opponent’则更强调对立或敌对关系,如政治对手或战争敌人。例如:'business competitors'(商业竞争对手)vs. 'political opponents'(政治对手)。

⚡黄金法则

商业文本中的使用

在商业报告或营销材料中,‘competitor’通常指直接或间接与本公司争夺市场份额的企业。避免用于描述非竞争性关系(如供应商或合作伙伴)。

📖词源

源自拉丁语competitor(参与竞争的人),由com-(共同)+ petere(寻求)构成,字面义为“共同寻求(同一目标)”。16世纪初进入英语,原指法律诉讼中的对手,后泛指各类竞争者。

📝用法说明

在商业语境中常用于描述市场中的对手企业;在体育或游戏中指参赛者。注意与‘opponent’(通常指对立面)的细微差别,‘competitor’更强调平等竞争关系。
