n.(名詞)

thing的基本意思是“物,東西”; 可指具體的物,也可用來指人或動物,帶有憐憫、愛或輕蔑等感情色彩,有時還可指說話方需要或想要的東西。

thing還可指代事,可指人們談論的或想到的事或非物質的某一點,也可指某一特定的事件或所做或將做的事,有時還可指某一事件的題目。thing作“問題”解時,常用于the thing is...結構中,表示“目前(要考慮)的問題是…,要緊的是…”。

thing作“用品,用具”解時,須用復數形式。

thing作“情形”解時,前面不用定冠詞the,須用復數形式。

thing與the連用時,表示“想要的東西,最適合〔得體,恰當,流行〕的東西〔樣式,狀況,式樣〕”。

things后面可接形容詞,表示“…的一切事物,特定的事物”。

n.(名詞)

thing, affair, business, concern, matter

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)對于他來說總是不停嘴地說話不是什么好事情。

誤

The only bad thing on him was that he never stopped talking.

正

The only bad thing about him was that he never stopped talking.

析

a good〔bad〕 thing about sb/sth 是固定搭配,不可將about改為on。
We must clear away the breakfast things.

誤

我們必須把早餐的殘羹剩飯清理干凈。

正

我們必須把早餐用的餐具收拾好。

析

在這里things指的是“餐具”,而不是指“吃的東西”。
現在形勢不同了。

誤

The things are different now.

正

Things are different now.

析

things在作“情況,形勢,情形”解時,前面不用the。

☆ 直接源自古英語的thing，意為事情。
