这三个词都可以表示物品的零块,但在大小、形状、质料、概念上各不相同。chunk用于形状不均匀,可以切碎和分开的固体材料; slice用于薄而扁平,整齐地切开的东西,尤指食品; lump用于指大块的固体物品,其大小、形状不规则,尤指未经人工加工的定形物。
这两个词共同的意思是“团”或“块”。它们的区别在于:mass多指形状不规则的东西堆积在一起而形成的一堆或一团; lump一般指固体的东西,可以是任何形状。例如:
The aircraft came down in flames, and the heat fused most of the parts together into a solid mass.飞机冒着火坠落了,大多数部件因高温而熔成一团。
Do you take one lump or two?你要一块方糖还是两块?
