如果强调开了一个讨论会,常为可数名词,例:a heated discussion about sth。但表示议论,争辩时常为不可数名词。例:The incident caused much discussion among the public. 这件事在公众中议论纷纷。
discussion的四点用法
1.表示“讨论”,若指一次讨论活动或一次讨论会等具体意义,是可数的。如:
They entered into a long discussion. 他们开始一段长时间的讨论。
We are having a discussion. 我们在讨论问题。
若指抽象意义的讨论或指讨论的动作或状态等,则通常为不可数的。比较:
Further discussion would be pointless. 继续讨论是无意义的。
There is little time for discussion. 没有什么时间进行讨论了。
有时还可受some, much等的修饰。如:
After much discussion they decided to accept our offer. 经过充分的讨论,他们决定接受我们开的价。
The agenda was adopted after some discussion. 经过讨论,议事日程获得通过。
2.其后接介词of,表示动宾关系;discussion of sth在意义上相当于discussing sth。如:
We started in on a discussion of the idea. 我们开始讨论那个意见。
She tends to sheer away from any discussion of her divorce. 一谈到她离婚的事她就尽量转换话题。
有时也接介词 on, about, over 等,含有“关于”的意味。如:
We had [held] a discussion with her about [over] it. 对此我们同她进行了讨论。
We had a long discussion about polities. 我们对政治问题进行了长时间的讨论。
3.用于 under discussion(正在讨论中),其中不用限定词。如:
That has no relation to the matter under discussion. 这和讨论的问题没有关系。
The plan is under discussion. =The plan is being discussed. 该计划正在讨论当中。
4.有时可置于名词前作定语。如:
Our discussion group is [are] meeting this week. 我们的讨论小组本周开会。
