whole 指一个事物的全部、整体或完整状态,强调没有缺失或分割,常用于描述数量、时间或事物的完整性。

用法要点

句型搭配

whole 常与冠词 the 连用,表示“整个...”,如 the whole world;也可与所有格代词连用,如 my whole life。在否定句中,whole 通常置于否定词之后,如 not the whole story。

• the whole day
• her whole family
• not the whole truth

介词用法

whole 后常接 of 短语,表示“...的全部”,如 the whole of the book,但口语中常省略 of,直接用 the whole book。在时间表达中,whole 可直接修饰名词,如 the whole week。

• the whole of the city
• the whole story
• the whole year

语域说明

whole 在正式和非正式语境中都常用,但作为形容词时更偏向日常用语;作为名词时,在学术或商务文本中可能用 entirety 或 total 替代以增强精确性。在口语中,whole 常带有强调语气,如 That's a whole different issue。

• the whole system
• in whole or in part
• a whole new level

常见错误

✓ 正确:I read the whole book yesterday.

whole 作为形容词时,通常需要冠词(如 the)或所有格代词(如 my)修饰名词,不能直接放在名词前。

❌ 错误:The whole of students passed the exam.
✓ 正确:All the students passed the exam.

whole 通常用于可数单数名词或不可数名词,表示“整个...”,不直接用于复数可数名词(如 students);在这种情况下,应用 all 或 the whole group of。

近义词辨析

entire

entire 与 whole 意思相近,但更强调完整性且没有缺失,常用于正式语境;whole 更通用,可指数量或时间的全部。

She spent the entire day working. (强调全天完整无间断) vs. She spent the whole day working. (更通用,指一整天)

total

total 侧重于数量的总和或累计,常用于数字或统计;whole 更侧重于整体性或未分割的状态。

The total cost is $100. (指所有费用加起来的总和) vs. The whole cost is $100. (指整个费用,可能强调一次性支付)
