  • 这两个词都有“亲戚”的意思。其区别是:
  • 1.根据血统或婚姻关系的远近来说,较近的亲戚用relation,较远的亲戚用relative。例如:
  • He had no relatives in California.他在加利福尼亚没有亲戚。
  • She has no relatives in town.她城里没有亲戚。
  • These are the gifts to friends and relatives.这些就是送给亲戚和朋友的礼物。
  • 2.relation除表达抽象意思外,还表示特别亲密的关系, relative只含有单纯的亲戚意味。试比较:
  • He was on intimate relations with her.
  • 他和她有亲密的交情。
  • My uncle is my nearest living relative.
  • 我叔叔是我最近的亲人。
  • relative,relation
  • 这两个名词均有“亲戚、亲属”之意。
  • relative普通用词,常可与relation换用,有时指一般的亲戚。
  • relation一般指因血统或婚烟关系形成的亲戚。
  • 用作形容词 (adj.)
    relative to
      关于…的,和…比较起来having a connection with sth; referring to sth
