2017-03-14

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:

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:

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。
