product
produce(名词)统指一切农产品、天然产品或工业产品,前面不加a,也没有复数形式produces。a product是“一件(天然、农业、或工业)产品”,products是“多件(天然、农业或工业)产品”,如a product of the soil和products of manufacture。a production是“一件(文学或艺术)作品”,productions是“多件(文学或艺术)作品”,如a production of genius和the artist's early productions。
the literary products of the age和the literary productions of the age都可以说,前者把products用在譬喻里,把作品看作产品。
product偶尔作“产品总量”解。例如:The factory's product for 1959 exceeds that for 1958.
