commerce 是不可数名词,指「大规模的商业贸易活动」,比 trade 更正式。关键搭配:commerce and industry(商业与工业);chamber of commerce(商会);e-commerce / electronic commerce(电子商务);international / global commerce(国际/全球商业);a commerce degree(商学学位)。形容词:commercial(商业的:commercial success = 商业成功;commercial airline = 商业航空;commercial interests = 商业利益)。辨析:commerce(大规模商业活动,较书面正式)vs. trade(贸易,可与 commerce 互换,但 trade 更具体:free trade = 自由贸易)vs. business(商业/生意,最广泛常用:do business = 做生意)。
