  • 词义辨析

    habit, custom

    这两个词都有“习惯,习俗,风俗”的意思。它们的区别是:
    1.custom指群体经过一段时期不断沿用而变成的习惯或惯例; habit指某个人反复地做某种动作,久而久之形成的自然习惯或习性,行动时不用思索。例如:
    This custom is on the decline.这种风俗渐渐消失。
    He has the irritating habit of smoking during meals.他有边吃饭边抽烟那让人讨厌的习惯。
    2.custom有时也指个人习惯,这时与habit的区别是:habit常指不好的习惯,而custom则常指良好的习惯。例如:

    He has a habit of biting his lips when he is puzzled.他感到困惑时有咬嘴唇的习惯。
