词源与构词

记忆钩子 son 中的 o 发 /ʌ/,与 sun 同音,不读 /ɒn/。表示“某人的儿子”常说 his son、their son;女性孩子是 daughter。

词族与关联词

反义词
  • daughter 女儿
    son 指某人的男性孩子“儿子”,daughter 指女性孩子“女儿”。二者都是可数亲属称谓;表达“子女”整体可用 children,不区分性别。
    Their daughter designs stage sets for a small theatre company. 他们的女儿为一家小剧团设计舞台布景。
易混词(形近或义近,注意区别)
  • sun 太阳;阳光
    son 与 sun 在英式英语中同音,都读 /sʌn/,但 son 指“儿子”,sun 指“太阳”或“阳光”。书写时需根据家庭和天文语境区分,如 their son 与 in the sun。
    The sun broke through the clouds and warmed the wet garden. 太阳穿过云层,把雨后的花园晒暖了。
