释义 |
■ archive单数复数都可以。 - He has had access to the whole of Lady Astor's archive, including her draft of an autobiography. (British Book News, December 1972)他可以查阅阿斯托尔夫人的全部档案,包括她准备写自传的草稿。
- The archives in the European capitals were searched. (Van Wyck Brooks, The Flowering of New England, 1815—1865)欧洲各个首都的档案都翻查过了。
复数的 archives 还可以用来表示“档案馆”这个机构。如果是单数的一所档案馆,虽然 archives 用复数,但是整个名称还是当作单数处理。 - From 1954 the National Archives has carried out training programmes for its serving archivists. (Library Science Abstracts, London, 1956)自 1954 年起,国家档案馆进行了一些对自己的在职档案人员加以训练的项目。
- An act to establish a National Archives of the United States Government... (US Code, 1948)设立美国政府国家档案馆的做法…
既然是机构,就甚至可以理解为所在的一处地点,因此前面也可以用介词 at 表示“在…”。 - ... documents at the archives on the outskirts of London... (The Associated Press, May 6, 2008)…位于伦敦郊外的档案馆中的文件…
archive 如果用于比喻,要看所指的是具体的人或事物,还是抽象的概念。具体时多用单数,抽象时多用复数。 - ... memorizing practically every line, thus making herself a living archive (*living archives)... (Hedrick Smith, Saturday Review, Jan. 24, 1976)…几乎每一行都背诵如流,使得她自己成了一个活档案…
- But we must have more than an intellectual desire, filed away in the archives (*the archive) of idea. (Charles A. Lindbergh, Saturday Review, Feb. 27, 1954)但是,我们如果只有求知的愿望,放到理念的档案里束之高阁,那是不行的。
