Kind is the most frequent of these words in this meaning. Sort is also frequent but is slightly more informal than kind and is used more in spoken English than in written English, and more in British English than in American English. Type is slightly more formal than the other two words and tends to be used more to talk about things that can be divided into classes or groups in a fairly objective way, for example in official, scientific or academic contexts. 这几个词中kind的使用频率最高，sort的使用频率也较高，但稍不如kind正式。sort多用于口语而非书面语，多用于英式英语而非美式英语。type比另外两个词稍正式些，往往指可以很客观地去分类的事物，例如官方、科学或学术语境中的事物。■ form [countable] one type of a thing that exists in a number of different types, especially when these have different physical characteristics （尤指根据物理特性界定的）类型，种类◆We need to look for an alternative form of energy.我们需要寻找一种替代型能源。◆This is one of the most common forms of cancer.这是其中一种最常见的癌症。◆Will we ever discover intelligent life forms on other planets?我们会在其他星球上发现高智能的生命形态吗？◆Music is not like other art forms.音乐不同于其他艺术形式。ⓘ Different forms of a thing are usually different in their physical characteristics, in a way that different types of a thing need not be. 一种事物的不同form通常具有不同的物理特性，而一种事物的不同type则不一定这样◆He mixes with all forms of people. ◆Are there intelligent life types on other planets? see also form ⇨ form 1 ■ version [countable] a copy of sth, especially a product, that is slightly different from the original thing （尤指产品的）版本，型式◆the latest version of the Volkswagen Golf大众高尔夫车系的最新车型◆the de luxe / luxury version豪华型◆The English version of the novel is due for publication next year.这部小说的英译本预定明年出版。■ variety [countable] a type of a thing, for example a plant or language, that is different from the others in the same general group （植物、语言等的）变种，变体；品种◆Apples come in a great many varieties.苹果品种繁多。◆The variety of English that they speak is closer to American than British.他们所讲的那种英语更接近于美式英语而非英式英语。◆They stock over 200 varieties of cheese.他们备有200多种奶酪。■ style [countable, uncountable] the features of a book, painting, building, etc. that make it typical of a particular author, artist, historical period, etc. （文学作品、绘画、建筑等的）风格，体◆This is a fine example of the Gothic style.这是哥特风格的一个佳例。◆The city contains many different styles of architecture.这座城市拥有多种不同的建筑风格。◆They were told to write the passage in the style of Hemingway.他们被要求模仿海明威的风格写短文。■ genre / /ˈʒɒ̃rə, ˈʒɒnrə; NAmE ˈʒɑːnrə/ [countable, uncountable] (formal) a particular style or type of literature, art, music or film that can be recognized because of its special features （文学、艺术、音乐或电影的）体裁，类型◆Crime fiction is a genre which seems likely to stay with us for many years.看来犯罪小说这种文学样式在很长一段时间内不会消亡。◆His essay discusses theories of style and genre.他的文章探讨了风格与体裁方面的理论。■ nature /ˈneɪtʃə(r)/ / [singular] (rather formal) a particular type of sth 种类；类型◆His books were mainly of a scientific nature.他的书主要是科学类的。◆Don't worry about things of that nature.不用担心那类事情。◆Decisions of this nature often take a long time.作这类决定常常要花很长时间。ⓘ In this meaning nature is usually used in the phrase of a ... nature. * nature表达此义时通常用于短语of a ... nature。■ brand [countable] a particular type of sth, especially sb's particular way of doing or thinking about sth 类型（尤指某人独特的行为或思维方式）◆She has her own unique brand of humour.她有自己别具一格的幽默。 |
