• A climax towards which she has climbed, with unflourished industry.

  出自：K. Tynan

1. industry的基本意思是“工业”,用作工业的总称时,是不可数名词,不加冠词,指“具体的某类工业或行业”时是可数名词,通常加冠词。
2. industry也可作“工业界”解,指从事工业的人或组织,是不可数名词。
3. 用于比喻, industry还可作“勤奋,勤劳,孜孜不倦”解,是不可数名词。

1. 一般情况下，industry统指“工业”（不可数名词），也可表示具体的某一种或多种“工业”门类（可数名词）。；

   industry is of more importance than commerce.
   工业比商业更重要。

2. 常见的工业有heavy industry（重工业）和light industry（轻工业）；
3. industry也可表示为“各行业”，如the broadcasting industry（广播行业）。一般情况下，单用industry，指的是“工业”，而非“行业”；
4. 表示某种“工业”或“行业”时，常用动词establish，build up或develop来表示开办或建立该行业，如establish the food industry。

industry, business

industry和business的区别在于:industry既可以作可数名词又可以作不可数名词,而business只能作不可数名词。industry指整个行业或所有的工业,范围广,而business只指从事商品流通活动,包括以物易物、购物、批发和零售等,有时也包括金融交易。例如:

Chinese industry is rapidly expanding.中国的工业正在迅速发展。

She wants to go into business when she leaves college.她大学毕业后想经商。

上海是一个工业城市。

误 Shanghai is an industry city.

正 Shanghai is an industrial city.

析 industry是名词,而industrial是形容词,不能混淆。

他依靠勤劳致富。

误 He got rich by means of industries.

正 He got rich by means of industry.

析 industry作“勤恳”解时是抽象名词,不可用复数。

• ☆ 15世纪晚期进入英语，直接源自古法语的industrie；最初源自拉丁语的industria，意为勤劳的。
