本期节目内容简介 Passion 用作名词,表示对某事或某人的激情、极度喜爱之情;enthusiasm 也是名词,一般指对某项活动的热衷或者热心。比如:She has great enthusiasm for everything she does.
这两个词在日常使用时有可替换之处,也有些地方是不能相互代替的。在本期节目里我们将通过例句比较帮助大家掌握以上两个词的不同用法。

这两个词的意思确实有相似之处,但是在具体使用的时候又是有差别的,我们一起来探讨一下。先看 passion,它是个名词,经常被用在热恋的人身上,描述的是两人之间彼此吸引的那种激情和爱恋。 请听例句。
Example
Maggie is the object of all his passion.
玛姬是他全部的爱恋。
Passion 的另一个意思是对某事强烈的爱好、酷爱,a very strong interest in doing something。通常我们用 a passion for something 来表达“对某事的热爱”。来看两个例句。
Examples
She had a passion for knitting.
她特别喜欢织毛活儿。
His passion for programming led him to this successful career.
他对编程的强烈热爱为他带来了如此功的事业。
另外,passion 还可以指热情,激情等对某事强烈的感情,a strong feeling about something or a strong belief in something。我们来看个例句。
Example
The audience was overwhelmed by the passion and commitment of the candidate.
观众被候选人的激情和承诺征服了。
下面,我们来说说 enthusiasm 这个词。Enthusiasm 也是名词,它的核心意思是“热情,热忱,热心”,而且基本是针对某件事的。我们来听几个例句。
Examples
I really appreciate his enthusiasm for everything he does.
我特别欣赏他做所有事情时的热情。
His enthusiasm and skills got him a job in the team.
他的热情和技能让他得以在这支团队中工作。
She has many enthusiasms; fondness of eastern music is one of them.
她有很多爱好,喜爱东方音乐是其中之一。
从上面的例句可以看出,在表达对某件事情有极大的兴趣和热情这个意思的时侯,passion 和 enthusiasm 是可以互换使用的。比如,我们想表达“他对野外探险特别感兴趣”时,既可以说“He has great passion for wild exploration”,也可以说“He has great enthusiasm for wild exploration.”;而在表达对恋人浓厚的爱意时,我们只能用 passion,不能用 enthusiasm。怎么样?现在明白了吗?
谢谢 Shelly 发来的问题。也欢迎更多地网友来信,我们的电子邮箱是 questions.chinaelt@bbc.co.uk 期待着更多的来信。我是冯菲菲,下次节目再会。
