relation
与
relationship
辨析
<
/p>
词缀分为前缀
prefix
和后缀
suffix
,后缀往往改变单词的意思和词性。这个-
ship
,表示的
是一种:关系,是那种抽象的关系
,内在的关系。
Relation
和
relationship
这两个词指关系时是相同的,尤其用
于指事物之间的关系:

doctors think there is a relation between smoking
and lung cancer.

relationship between smoking and lung cancer.

“
What relation i
s
he to you?”“He is nephew to me./He is my nephew.
”
“他和你有何关系?”

”
“
What is his relationship
to/with you?”
“他和你有何关系?”
(注:这句不能说成:
“
What
is his relation to
you?
”
)
在以上情况下,即使有分别,
rel
ation
侧重形式上的关连,而
r
elationship
却侧重密切的交
往。例如:
John's relation with
Mary is father and daughter.
约翰和玛丽是父母关系。

improved.
