专业提示

区分'live'、'alive'和'living'

'live'作形容词时指现场直播(如a live show),'alive'强调存活状态(如The fish is still alive),而'living'常用于描述生命体或生活方式(如living organisms、earn a living)。

黄金法则

living vs. alive

'living'通常用于名词前修饰(如living room),或强调生命状态(如all living things);'alive'只能作表语或后置定语(如The cat is alive / the happiest man alive)。

词源

中古英语livende,源自古英语lifende(源自动词lifian 'live'),与德语lebendig、荷兰语levend同源。原始日耳曼语*libandz,源自原始印欧语*leip- '剩余;继续存在'。

用法说明

1. 'living'作形容词时,通常置于名词前(如living room),但也可作表语(如The house is not fit for living)。2. 'living'作名词时,常用于'earn/make a living'结构。3. 避免与'live'混淆:'live'作形容词时指现场直播(如a live concert),而'living'强调生命状态。
