释义 limit
limitn. [′lɪmɪt] (limits)
双解释义
1. C 限度,限制  the farthest point or edge, which can't or must not be passed

2. limit常与介词to连用,表示“对…的限度”。
3. limit还可作“范围”“境界”解,此时多用复数形式。

词语辨异
 ♣ limit, border, boundary, bounds
 参见border条。
 ♣ limit, bound, confine
 这三个词的共同意思是“限制,范围”。其区别是:
1. limit指对空间、时间、程度、数目等划定的界线或极限,这个limit不允许超过或越过划定的界线或极限。limit也指由自然界、权威当局或协定、合同等规定的期限;bound多指受到实际上存在的或设想的某种界线的限制,常用复数形式。例如:
 His business is confined within narrow limits. 他的生意限定在很窄的范围之内。
 She could never keep her temper within bounds. 她不能控制她的脾气。
2. confine与bound意思很接近,但是bound通常含有从界限之内看问题的意思;confine则含有“禁闭”或“把…限制在…范围内”的意思,常用复数形式。例如:
 The sick boy was kept within the confines of the house. 这个得病的男孩被关在屋子里。
