语感
amid = 书面版「在…中」——议论文背景铺垫首选(amid controversy/concerns/uncertainty)
在…之中,在…的氛围中(书面)
陷阱
⚠️amid 后接名词不加冠词 a(不可数/复数)
The prime minister resigned amid a growing controversy over the misuse of public funds.
首相在公款滥用丑闻引发争议声中辞职。(amid controversy 更书面;× amid a chaos → ✓ amid chaos)
实际上 amid a + 单数名词 在某些情况下可接受,但更地道的书面用法通常是 amid + 不可数名词/复数/无冠词(amid controversy = 在争议声中,无冠词更自然);常见模式:amid controversy(✓)/ amid a scandal(也可,但 amid controversy 更书面)。注意:× amid a chaos(chaos 不可数,无冠词)→ ✓ amid chaos
The prime minister resigned amid growing controversy over the misuse of public funds.
首相在公款滥用引发的日益增长的争议声中辞职。
⚠️amid vs. during:氛围/情况 vs. 时间段
During the financial crisis, many small businesses were forced to close as bank lending dried up.
during = amid(在某时期/情况中,两个词意思一样可以互换)
during(在某时间段内:during the crisis = 在危机期间,强调时间范围);amid(置身于某情况/氛围中:amid the crisis = 在危机的氛围中,强调「被包围」的状态);此句说银行贷款枯竭(时间段内的事件),用 during 更准确;若要描述「置身于混乱的市场环境中」,用 amid(amid the turmoil)
在金融危机期间,随着银行贷款枯竭,许多小企业被迫关闭。(during = 时间段;amid = 置身于某情况/氛围中)
近义辨析
amid vs in the midst of
