"means"是英語中的多義詞,其含義根據語境可分為以下三類:
方法或手段
作為可數名詞(複數形式仍為"means"),指實現目标的具體方式或工具。例如:"The internet is a powerful means of communication"(互聯網是重要的通訊工具)。該用法常見于技術文檔和學術讨論,牛津詞典将其定義為"a method or way of doing something"。
財力或資源
作為複數名詞,特指個人或組織的經濟能力。例如:"This project requires substantial financial means"(該項目需要雄厚財力支撐)。韋氏詞典指出該詞源自古法語"meien",強調"實現目的所需的中間條件"。
數學與邏輯學概念
在統計學中表示"平均數",如算術平均數公式: $$ bar{x} = frac{1}{n}sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i $$ 劍橋詞典特别标注該專業術語用法常見于科研領域。
該詞的詞源可追溯至中古英語"mēnes",與古高地德語"mein"(虛假)存在同源關系,這種語義演變反映了語言發展的複雜性。語言學研究表明,其多重含義的形成與14世紀商業社會發展密切相關。

方法、手段、途徑
金錢、收入、財産
Means 是一個多義詞,核心含義為“方法”和“金錢”。其名詞形式單複數同形,需結合語境判斷;動詞形式則繼承自 "mean",強調意圖或定義。常見搭配如 by means of 和 by no means 在學術與日常場景中高頻使用。理解時需注意區分其雙重語義,例如“手段”的實用性與“財力”的經濟屬性。
