| 词组 | relate |
| 释义 | relate to 是“涉及……”或“跟……有关系”, be related to 是“在性质上跟……相关”或“跟……有亲属等关系”，下面各句里的 relate(s) to 和 be related to 不可对调： This paragraph relates to the War of Independence. The speech relates to the relaxation of international tension. I do not understand how the different parts of the machine relate to each other. He has collected many proverbs and popular sayings that relate to the seasons, the weather, and agricultural pursuits. These occurrences seem to be related to each other. Mr Bryan is closely related to Mr Carson. The domestic cat is distantly related to the tiger. This plant is said to be related to that. relation(ship) 1．relation 和 relative 都可以用作“亲属”解，relative 比 relation 普通。但下面三句里的 relation 不可改作 relative。 Is he any relation to you? What relation is he to you? He is no relation (to me). 注意 He is no relation to me 里用 no 和 to me，He is not a relation of mine 里用 not a 和 of mine。He is no relation (to me) 作“他跟我同姓不宗”解。 2．relation 和 relative 并不专指所谓“亲戚”，也包括父、母、子、女、祖、孙、伯、叔等。his（或 her）relations（或 relatives）通常指“他（或她）的家属”。 3．relation 和 relative 都不指亲戚的亲戚，如你的姐夫的姐夫并不是你的 relation 或 relative。 4．说“父子关系”、“师生关系”等用单数形式 relation，如 the relation of father to son 和 the relation between them as teacher and pupil。说人和人、店和店、国和国等之间的“关系”时则用复数形式 relations。例如： The relations between father and son are of the best kind. We have very pleasant relations with the firm. The book is a study of the diplomatic and cultural relations of this country. 注意 human relations problems 和 public relations officers 里也用复数形式 relations。 5．relationship 跟 relation（亲属）的关系，相当于 friendship 跟 friend 的关系。但 relationship 也往往用作“关系”解。 |
