bulk, size
这两个词都可指某物在数量、程度、型号上的“大小”。它们的区别是：
1.bulk不指准确的度量,只表示相当大的量; size则相对准确些。例如:
Great bulk does not always mean great weight.体积大并不意味着分量重。
2.size可指“尺寸,号码”, bulk没有这种用法。例如:
What size shoes do you want?—I want size seven.你要哪号码的鞋子?——我要7号的。
bulk, the larger part
这两个词(组)共同的意思是“大部分”。后者只用于看得见、摸得着的东西; 前者适用于无形物质。
His legs were pitifully thin compared to the rest of his bulk.
他的双腿和他庞大身躯的其他部分相比瘦得可怜。
