The term may also mean simply “few”: 由四对表演的四方舞。 这个名词也可以指简单的“几个”：a couple of minutes; 几分钟；a couple of books. 几本书。Pair stresses close association and often reciprocal dependence of things (Pair 强调亲密的联系和事物相互依赖：（a pair of gloves; 一副手套；a pair of pajamas); sometimes it denotes a single thing with interdependent parts (一套睡衣裤）； 有时它表示具有两个相互依赖部分的一件东西（a pair of scissors; 一把剪刀；a pair of spectacles). 一副眼镜）。 Brace refers principally to certain animals or game birds (Brace 主要指某种动物或驯鸟（a brace of hounds; 一对猎狗；a brace of partridges), and yoke to two joined draft animals ( 一双鹧鸪）， yoke 主要指两个连在一起的役用动物（ a yoke of oxen). 一对牛） When used to refer to two people who function socially as a unit, as in a married couple, the word couple may take either a singular or a plural verb, depending on whether the members are considered individually or collectively: 当用来表示作为一个单位来行使社会功能的两个人时，如在一对已婚夫妇 中， 单词couple 既可以带单数动词也可以带复数动词， 这取决于两个人是被单个或集体地看待的：The couple were married last week. 这一对夫妇是上星期结的婚。Only one couple was unaccounted for. 只有一对夫妇没被算在内。 When a pronoun follows, they and their are more common than it and its : 如果后面跟有代词，they 和 their 比 it 和 its 要常用一些： The couple decided to spend their (less commonly its ) vacation in Italy. 这对夫妇决定在意大利度过他们的（很少用 its ） 假期。 Care should be taken that the verb and the pronoun agree in number: 应当注意动词和代词在数上要一致：The couple have their (less commonly has its ) primary residence in New York. · 这对夫妇（很少用 has its ） 最初的住处在纽约。 Although the phrase a couple of has been well established in English since before the Renaissance, it has been criticized on several grounds. Grammarians used to insist that a couple of should be used only to refer to things closely linked to one another and so was improperly used in phrases such as a couple of years ago. This objection has not been heard in some time and was never well supported. Modern critics have sometimes maintained that a couple of is too inexact to be appropriate in formal writing. But the inexactitude of a couple of may serve a useful communicative purpose, suggesting that the writer is indifferent to the precise number of items involved. Thus the sentence She lives only a couple of miles away implies not only that the distance is short but that its exact measure is unimportant. Furthermore, a couple of is different from a few in that it does not imply that the relevant amount is relatively small. One might say admiringly of an exceptional center fielder that he can throw the ball a couple of hundred feet, but not, except ironically, a few hundred feet, which would suggest that such a throw was unremarkable. The usage should be considered unobjectionable on all levels of style.尽管a couple of 这个短语在文艺复兴之前就已在英语中形成， 它仍受到多方面批评。语法学家过去坚持认为a couple of 应该只用于指互相之间紧密相连的东西， 所以在a couple of years ago 这样的短语中用是不适当的。 这样的反对意见长时间没有人提起了，也从未受到太多支持。现代批评家有时也认为a couple of 太不精确，不能很恰当地用于正式的写作中。 但a couple of 的不精确性也有一种很有用的传达交流的意图， 表明作者对于所涉及的事物的精确数目并不太关心。因此她住的只有几英里远 这个句子不仅表明距离很远，同时也表明精确测量是不重要的。 另外a couple of 与 a few 的不同还表现在它不表示有关的数量是相对来说小的。 如果夸赞一个优秀的中外野球手，可以说他能把球抛几百英尺远 ， 若非如此的话，排除反意的可能，a few hundred feet 指抛这么远并没什么稀奇之处。 这种用法在各种文体上都是无可辩驳的couple[5kQpl]n.夫妻， 配偶两个(人或物)； 一对〔口〕交配〔口〕（少数）几个， 两三个【物】力偶； 力矩； 电偶， 热偶【天】联星联接器两只猎犬a newly married couple新婚夫妇arrange the chairs in couple一对对地排放椅子Ten couples took the floor.场上有十对舞伴。I have a couple of things to do.我有几件事要做。couple[5kQpl]vi.成对拥抱， 交媾vt.连在一起， 配合， 连接； 组合， 耦合加倍由...联想到； 把...同联系起来Her name was coupled with his.她的名字与他的连在一起。a couple of两三个， (少数)几个be coupled with和...联合， 结合go in couples总是成双成对； 协力hunt in couples总是成双成对； 协力run in couples总是成双成对； 协力coupled with加上， 外加in a couple of shakes刹那间， 马上It is not every couple that is a pair成双未必能配对。Every couple is not a pair.成双未必能配对。couple in耦合， 接入couple ...to把...结合到couple up把...耦联起来antimony bismuth couple锑铋热电偶astatic couple无定向的磁〔针〕偶base metal couple基金属热电偶bigraded exact couple双重分次正合偶centrifugal couple离心力偶chromel-alumel couple铬-铝热电偶concentrated couple集中力偶controlling couple控制力偶copper-constantan couple铜-康铜热电偶deflecting couple转矩， 偏转力偶exact couple正合偶flame couple热电偶galvanic couple电耦合geosynclinal couple【地质】偶地槽gyroscopic couple陀螺力矩heater bridge wall couple加热炉隔墙测温热电偶heater flue couple加热炉废气（或出气口）的热电偶heater outlet couple炉出口处热电偶inertia couple惯性力偶instantaneous couple瞬时力偶junction couple结式热偶magnesium couple镁电偶magnetic couple磁偶main couple【建】主桁架nichrome alumino-copper couple镍铬-铝铜热电偶nichrome alumino-nickel couple镍铬-镍铝热电偶nursing couple哺乳的母子（心理分析用语）ordered couple有序数偶prime couple素数偶reducing couple还原偶restoring couple回复力偶resultant couple合成力偶righting couple正位力矩rocking couple摆动力偶roll couple(轧机机架的)倾翻力偶semi-exact couple半正合偶standard couple标准热电偶stress couple应力偶thermal couple热偶thermoelectric couple热电偶torsion couple扭转耦合turning couple扭转力偶twisting couple扭力偶unit couple单位力偶volta couple伏打电偶zinc couple锌半电池， 锌电偶zinc copper couple套淀积铜的锌片； 锌铜偶couple of forces力偶couple来自古法语 cople<拉丁语 copulacouplejoinpairteam
