用法詞典
means
參考詞彙
(1)means,instrument,instrumentality,agent,agency,medium,vehicle這組詞都可以表示藉以成就某事或達到某目的人或物。
(2)means (單複數同形)可以指人或物，其含義為「手段」或「工具」；這個詞不僅用於具體的東西，也可以用於抽像的意念。如：means of production 生產資料，means of living 生活資料
The next step would be to develop means for sending television pictures.
下一步將要發展送出電視圖像的手段。
Knowledge began to increase as soon as the thoughts of one individual could be communicated to another by means of speech.
一旦一個人的思想能夠借助於語言傳遞給另一個人，知識便開始增長了。
They regarded the labouring class as a mere means to the maintenance of the rest.
他們把勞動階級看作一種養活其他階級的純粹的工具。
(3)instrument 主要用於表示按別人的意志行事的人，在用於表示事物時，其含義由 musical instrument (樂器)引伸而來，因此 instrument 在表示「工具」或「儀器」時的內涵是操作靈敏，一觸即應
But can we blame those who looked and failed to see what Galileo saw, if we remember that to use a telescope at the limit of its powers calls for long experience and intimate familiarity with one's instrument?
然而， 如果我記起這樣一個事實：使用一架倍數有限的望遠鏡需要長期的經驗和對儀器的完全熟悉，我們難道能夠責怪那些作過觀察但沒有看見迦利略所看見的東西的人嗎？
He was made the instrument of another's crime.
他被迫成了另一個犯罪的工具了。
We have an old musical instrument.
我們有一件老式的樂器。
(4)instrumentality 可以與means換用，但不能與 instrument 換用，因為這個詞的含義是對手段的「有效利用」。如：by(或 through) the instrumentality (or means) of (借助於…)
Without the instrumentality of a free press liberty could not be preserved.
如果不能有效地利用新聞自由，就無法維護自由。
(5)agent 的原義是「起作用的人」或「辦事的人」，現在的常用含義是「代理人」，即區別於籌劃人或行使意志者
Many firms, for instance, have great difficulty in obtaining technical or scientific books from libraries because they are unwilling to have their names entered as having taken out such and such a book for fear the agents of other firms should beable to trace the kind of research they are likely to be undertaking.
例如，許多公司在向圖書館借技術或科學書籍時非常難辦，因為這些公司不願讓自己的字號作為借出這種那種圖書者登記入冊，生怕其他公司的情報人員可能探索出他們有可能在進行的科研種類。
(6)agency 不能與agent換用，因為這個詞的含義指的是agent的行為，他的工作，即「經辦」。如：by(或through)the agency of (借助於…)。
(7)agency 與 instrumentality 的區別在於：agency 的內涵是「引起某結果的原因」，即「媒介」。如：某些疾病的傳播是借助昆蟲進行的(through the agency of insects)
This disease is spread through the agency of insects.
這種疾病是通過昆蟲媒介傳播的。
(8)medium 的含義是「介質」，沒有這種「介質」便達不到一定的目的
It (指 swallow) tires not nor does it boast of its power; but belongs to the air, travelling it may be six thousand miles to and from its northern nesting home feeding its flown young as it flies and slipping through a medium that seems to help itspassage even when the wind is adverse.
它不知疲勞，也不誇耀自己的飛翔能力，然而它在空中十分自如，可以一直飛行6,000英里。飛向北方的築有鳥巢的家鄉以及從那裡飛走，在飛行的過程中還要餵養已出窠的雛燕，甚至在頂風的時候也能夠不費勁地穿過那似乎有助它遷棲的氣流。
(9)vehicle 所表示的「媒介物」主要指藉以傳遞意欲流露的思想、感情等手段。這個詞的這一含義與「運輸車輛」這一含義有關
Art may be used as a vehicle for propaganda.
藝術可以用作為宣傳的媒介。
Language is a vehicle of human thought.
語言是人類表達思想的媒介。
