body=身体?

body=身体?

1. 表示“身体”,但并不与汉语的“身体”完全同义:

(1) 相对于精神(mind, spirit, soul)的“身体”以及侧重指躯体的“身体”等,可用 body 来表示。如:

You can imprison my body but not my mind. 你可以禁锢我的身体但不能禁锢我的精神。

His body is old but his mind is young. 他身体虽然老了,但心还很年轻。

(2) 侧重指躯体、躯干等的“身体”,也可用 body 表示。如:

He wore clothes to keep his body warm. 他穿衣服以暖和身子。

He was badly burned on the face and body. 他的脸部和身上都严重烧伤。

(3) 表示健康状况的“身体”,一般不能直接用 body, 可改用其它说法(如用 health, healthy 等)。如:

He is in good health. / He is healthy. 他身体健康。

Keep healthy, study well and work well. 身体好,学习好,工作好。

2. 表示“尸体”。如:

The dog led the policemen to the body. 警犬将警察引向了那具尸体。

The police found a body at the bottom of the lake. 警方在湖底发现一具尸体。

Bending over the dead body of the dog, she tried to discover any signs of life. 她俯视狗的尸体,想看看它是否还有一丝生气。

I dimly perceived a bed in the corner,and I wondered whether the light would disclose lying on it a dead body. 我隐约看见角落里有一张床,我不知道这亮光会不会照出一具尸体躺在床上。
