dual 与 double 的区别

dual “两部分的;双重的;双的”

double“两倍的;加倍的;双的;成双的;成对的”

二者都有“两,对,双重,”的意思,那如何具体区别分析呢?

首先,看dual,英文解释为“having two parts or aspects ”,也就是有两个方面,两个部分,属于事物的“性质”层面。

例子:

She has dual role as writer and singer.

接着,看double,英文解释为“twice as much/many”,“having or made of two things or parts that are equal or similar ”,“made for two people or things ”,是用来描述数量,属于事物“数量”层面。

例子:

The total output of corn is double that of last year.
