"growth"是英语中多领域通用的名词,主要包含以下三层核心含义:
1. 生物体的发育过程
指生物体从胚胎到成熟阶段体积和重量的增加过程。剑桥词典指出该词既可描述细胞分裂(cell division)等微观变化,也可用于动植物整体发育,例如:"The growth of pine trees is slower in high-altitude regions"(松树在高海拔地区生长较慢)。
2. 经济与数据的量化增长
在经济学中特指国内生产总值、企业利润等可测量数值的持续提升。根据牛津学术词典,该用法常与"rate""percentage"等计量单位搭配,例如:"The IMF revised its global growth forecast to 3.2% for 2025"(国际货币基金组织将2025年全球增长预期修正为3.2%)。
3. 病理学异常增生
医学领域指肿瘤、囊肿等异常组织的形成。梅里亚姆-韦伯斯特词典特别标注此含义需结合具体医学语境,如:"Biopsy confirmed the growth was benign"(活检确认增生组织为良性)。
该词的词源可追溯至古英语"grōwan",原意为"植物发芽",14世纪后扩展出抽象发展含义。现代用法中既保留具体生长意象(如儿童身高增长),也衍生出经济扩张(market growth)、技术演进(technology growth)等隐喻用法。
