"Waste"是一個多義詞,其含義根據語境和詞性變化可分為以下五類解釋:
1. 名詞:廢棄物或浪費行為
指未被充分利用的物質資源(如工業廢料、生活垃圾)或時間/機會的無效消耗。聯合國環境署定義其為"在特定時空條件下失去使用價值的物質"。例如:"The factory produces chemical waste"(工廠排放化學廢料)。
2. 動詞:不合理消耗
表示對資源、時間或才能的非必要損耗。牛津詞典指出其核心含義是"use carelessly, extravagantly, or without purpose"。例如:"Don't waste water during drought"(幹旱期間請勿浪費水)。
3. 環境科學術語
根據《巴塞爾公約》,危險廢物特指"含有毒性、腐蝕性等特性,可能危害生态環境的廢棄物質"。這類物質需要特殊處理,如醫療廢物、核廢料等。
4. 法律概念
美國《資源保護與回收法案》将廢物定義為"被丢棄的物質,包括固體、液體、氣體形态",該定義直接影響企業的環保責任。
5. 近義詞辨析
與"garbage"(廚房垃圾)、"rubbish"(英式日常垃圾)不同,"waste"更強調物質的價值流失過程。劍橋詞典特别指出其包含"未能有效利用"的隱含意義。
詞性:名詞、動詞、形容詞
發音:英式 /weɪst/,美式 /west/
核心含義:
名詞:
