"widespread" 是形容詞,表示某事物在廣闊地域或大量人群中存在或發生的狀态。該詞由"wide"(廣泛)和"spread"(傳播)組合而成,最早可追溯至17世紀英語演變過程,現已成為描述地理分布或社會影響範圍的常用詞彙。
在具體使用中,"widespread" 通常指:
牛津英語詞典将其定義為"existing or happening over a large area or among many people",強調空間和數量的雙重維度。劍橋詞典的例句"The storm caused widespread damage" 展示了該詞描述自然災害影響範圍的典型用法。
語言學家指出,"widespread" 在學術論文中的使用頻率比日常對話高83%,常見于社會學、環境科學等需要描述群體現象的學科領域。其近義詞包括prevalent、extensive,但"widespread" 更側重實際分布範圍,而prevalent強調普遍存在狀态。
