中国2020珠峰高程测量登山队8名队员登顶地球之巅珠穆朗玛峰,为珠峰量身高。世界最高峰峰顶上,鲜艳的五星红旗迎风招展。
China Daily报道这篇新闻时描述测量队是Chinese surveying team。此行主要目的是remeasure the height of the worlds highest peak重新测量世界最高峰的高度。
因此测量在报道中分别用了两个词:survey和measure。那他们有什么区别呢?今天我们就来讨论讨论吧!
Measure
Measure= to get accurate measurements of something.measurement is a precise evaluation based on standard measuring tools such as a ruler, meter stick, weight scale, etc.
Measure=为了获得对某物的精确测量。测量是基于标准测量工具的精确评估,如尺子、仪表尺、体重秤等。
Measure the length and width of the gap. 测量一下这条缝隙的长与宽。Measure the full width of the window. 测量一下窗户的全宽。
If youre measuring the house, youre literally getting the little measuring wheel out to count the distance between point a and point b (precise evaluation)如果你在测量房子,你实际上是把小测量轮拿出来计算点a和点b之间的距离(精确评估)。
Survey
Survey= the act of examining and recording the measurements, features, etc. of an area of land in order to make a map or plan of it.
survey=检查和记录一块土地的尺寸、特征等以便绘制地图或计划的行为。
The survey was not submitted. 勘测未递交。I survey land for building highways, bridges and things like that. 我测量建筑公路,桥等需要的土地。
If youre surveying a worksite for where they need to build a house, you probably check the area is big or small enough for the houses on the plan (an evaluation only using your eyes and common sense)。如果你正在"surveying"一个需要建房子的工地,你可能只要检查一下面积是否足以容纳平面图上的房子(用你的眼睛和常识大概做一个评估)。
总结:
Measure是用工具精确测量。
Survey偏向于测绘,可能没有measure那么强调精确性,目的更多在于检查和记录。
