fiction 的用法及固定搭配

fiction

1.fiction统指一切“小说”。例如:Do you read fiction? 把a fiction指“一篇小说”或fictions指“多篇小说”也不算错,但不很普通。

2.fiction通常只指“小说”,不包括诗歌和戏剧,但有时也兼指诗歌和戏剧里的“故事”。其实fiction注重在“假”,所以历史不是fiction,新闻也不是fiction,诗歌和戏剧里的“故事”却是fiction。

3.short fiction或shorter fiction统指一切短篇小说。

4.fiction(虚构的事)后面有时接以that引导的从句。例如:I have read of the English fiction that in leap-year, especially on leap-day, a proposal of marriage comes from the woman and not from the man.
