term
1.说“条件”或“价格”必须用复数形式terms。例如:His terms are 'no cure no pay'. (他的条件是“病不好,不要钱。”)和His terms for private lessons are 100 yuan an hour. (他的私人教授价格是每小时一百元。)第一句里只有一个条件,第二句里只有一个价格,但都必须用复数形式terms。
2.说“依照…条件”在terms前面用on或upon。例如:He refused to work (up)on our terms.
3.term(学期)前面往往没有the。例如:Term is over. Term was drawing to a close. 和We began term on Tuesday last.
4.in terms of用得很多,作“顾及”,“关于”或“就…而论”解。例如:
- We must plan our work in terms of the new situation and its needs.
- He was asked to state his position in terms of politics and morality.
- In terms of literary criticism I can say nothing about the novel.
- They agree with us in principle but differ with us in terms of certain measures to be taken.
5.This might be termed a monstrosity等句子里不该在termed后面加上as。
