female,feminine
这两个词是同义词,都有女性的意思,但涵义和使用场合有所不同。
作形容词时,female表示女的、女性的、雌的之意,着重指性别而言,经常与之搭配的词有:sex,child,friend,companion,heir,ruler,servant,ward,voice,figure,suffrage,education,animal,plant等,其对语是male.例:
Yesterday we received a lot of guests,male and female,in Victoria Peak Garden.
昨日我们在山顶公园接待了很多来宾,有男的也有女的。
His younger sister,it is said,a female operative.
据说,他的妹妹是个女工。
A doe is female deer.
牝鹿就是雌鹿。
Feminine着重指有女性气质的之意,经常与之搭配的词有nature,sympathy,weakness,virtue,frivolity,curiosity,voice,pursuits,hobbies,clothes等其对语是masculine.例:
She has got all the feminine virtues.
她具有全部女性的长处。
This gentleman has got a feminine voice.
这位男士说话的声音像女子。
注:female education和feminine education的涵义并不相同,前者是女子教育,后者是适合于妇女的教育。female voice和feminine voice的内涵亦不相同,前者是女声,说话的人肯定是女子,后者是女性般的声音,说话人有可能是男子。
female和feminine也可以用作名词,作名词时,前者义女性或妇女,如:A female has just called.(一个女人刚来访过)。但因有贬低的意味,一般不用a female来指女人而用a lady(一位女士)。feminine则作阴性解,例如在英语语法书里,the feminine的意思是阴性,它等于the feminine gender.
