damage的英文

破损damaged; damage; worn; dilapidation; torn

damage既是不可数也是可数。

damage作“损坏，损失”解时，可指物质上的损害，也可指精神上的损害，是不可数名词，其前可加形容词表示程度。

作“赔款，损害赔偿费”解时是可数名词，其复数形式为：damages。可以把damage（损害）和damages（赔偿金）视为两个不同的词，后者是复数形式单数意义。

词义辨析

damage，destroy这两个词的共同意思是“损坏”“破坏”。其区别是：

1、在程度上，destroy指十分彻底地破坏，而damage指并不彻底地破坏。

2、在后果上，destroy指不能或很难修复了，而damage指不能发挥正常作用了。

3、在对象上，destroy可接物，也可接人，而damage通常只用于非生物。

4、在造成破坏的原因上，destroy多指不可抵抗的外界力量，而damage则常指因人的过失。
