用法讲解

n. (名词)
  1. accident的基本含义是“意外遭遇”,即缺乏主观动机的不测事件,多用于交通事故。accident一般会造成损伤,其损伤程度的范围很大,譬如交通事故,可以是机毁人亡,也可以是遍体鳞伤,还可以是仅伤皮毛,当然也可以安然无恙。
  2. accident还可以表示事先没有预料到的“意外”,即“偶然发生的事”,可以是好事,也可以是坏事,还可以是无所谓好也无所谓坏的事。
  3. 表示“某人遭遇不幸或事故”时接介词to或with; 表示“某物遭遇不幸或事故”时接to。
  4. 注意accident的拼写及读音——双写cc,读作［ks］。
  1. accident常指偶然发生的不幸事件，incident则指不是非常重要的事件。如出车祸是accident，在车上遇到长时间未见到老朋友是incident；
  2. accident单用时指“偶然”，而没有“不幸”的意思。

    She was twenty when accident brought her to the notice of the great author.

  3. by accident意为“偶然地”，反义表达方式是by design或on purpose；
  4. 表达“某人某物遭遇不幸事件”时，加to在人或物前。

    There was an accident to the little boy.

  5. accident后偶尔接以that从句。

    His absence was due to the accident that the letter asking him to come had gone astray.

  6. 有时意为“偶然成功的人或事”，如a political accident指“一个不靠本领而借偶然机会成功的政界人物”。
n. (名词)
accident, incident, event
  • 这组名词的共同意思是“事件”,其区别是：
  • 1.accident是偶然发生的; incident是附属于偶发事件的; 而event则不一定是偶然的。
  • 2.accident在没有happy, lucky这类词修饰时,多指不幸事件; 而incident和event则不一定是不幸的。
  • 3.incident指日常小事或不太重要的事件; 而accident则多指涉及人命的大事,但不用于政治事件。试比较下面两句:
  • Being late for school is an incident, not an accident.
  • 上学迟到是小事情,不是大事故。
  • Being hit by a car is an accident, not an incident.被汽车撞了是大事故,不是 小事情。
  • 如果把accident和incident连用,这种差异就更明显了。例如:
  • Accidents are becoming incidents on this railway.这条铁路上事故已成家常便饭。
  • 须注意的是incident有时也指大事,但多指在政治上、军事上、外交上可能导致争端或战争的事件。例如:
  • It was a frontier incident.这是一次边境事件。
  • 4.event也可指日常小事,但主要指重要的事件(国家的、社会的、边界的等)。例如:This is one of the chief events of this year.这是本年度大事之一。
    • accident，incident，event，occurrence，happening
  • 这些名词均有“事故、事件”之意。
  • accident强调偶然或意外发生的不幸事情。
  • incident既可指小事件或附带事件，又可指政治上具有影响的事件或事变。
  • event可指任何大小事件，但尤指历史上的重大事件。
  • occurrence多指日常生活中发生的一般事件，有时也指偶然发生的事。
  • happening与occurrence相似，多指日常生活中发生的一般事件，有时也指偶然发生的事。

    • 词源解说

    • ☆ 14世纪晚期进入英语，直接源自古法语的accident，意为发生，出现；最初源自拉丁语的accidentum，意为发生的事情。
