【解释】
1)kind系普通用语,其含义较模糊,它所指的种类可用任何标准区分,但着重以事物的自然属性和内在性质为标准来区分。
2)type常和换用kind,但在表示动植物的种类,以及牌类游戏时,不能用type代替
3)sort也为普通用语,比kind更口语化,其概念同kind一样很不严密,两者常可互换, 但sort常掺杂说话人的主观色彩,带有轻蔑与贬低的含义。如:
We talked of all sorts of subjects.我们谈了各种话题。
These sorts of people are ready to eat anywhere.这种人总是走到哪里吃到哪里。 【练习】用上面所提供的辨析词的适当形式填空
