Two short questions please

1_What is the difference between 挑and选? (to select)
2_What is the difference between 图书and 书?(both means book)


头回听说“挑”和“选”还有程度上的区别,表示怀疑。请问应该如果理解“精挑细选”?如果说成“精选”难道不成立吗?不能因为一般不说“鸡蛋里选骨头”就得出这样的结论。为什么这里不能用“选”,是因为“挑“有把异物选择出来的含义,而”选“则有在同类中选择的含义,如果说成”在鸡蛋里选骨头“,而给人一种鸡蛋里本身就有骨头,然后我们来选,而事实上鸡蛋里没有骨头,如果有就是属于异物,所有用”挑“,”挑剔“可以连用,因为”剔“是”剔除“的意思,把异物剔除,所以不用”选剔“。


挑和选在很多地方都有差别,以前有人问题过这个问题,我也详细解释过,可以去查一下。


”图书“和”书“也许译成英语都是book,但对于汉语来说,完全是两个不同的词,书,可以指具体的,个体的书,而图书是个集合名词,是书的总称,甚至是抽象的概念,所以,它们是有很大区别的。总是想到它们都是book,你当然分不开它们,这是英译不够精确的问题。

1_What is the difference between 挑and选? (to select)

“挑”means "choose carefully".You walk into a clothing store,you pick up two or three pieces of T-shirts,you compare them,considering their color,quality,style…Eventually,you choose the one you fancy most.That's a process we call it 挑"in Chinese.

"选"means "choose".It's usual and common used.
2_What is the difference between 图书and 书?(both means book)

Just like you said,they both means book.We don't use"图书”quite often,especially in oral Chinese.We just simply use"书”.But we do use"图书馆”,which means"library".

挑 (maybe you have more power to select) 选(maybe more usual ) we often use '挑选“ together。 图书and书 ,we often don't do the difference. we often use 书。but some proper nouns , for example, 图书馆。at this moment, we use 图书。

挑给人感觉比选的程度更深,也就是比选更细,而选比挑粗点。举个例子来说,人们常说鸡蛋里挑骨头,这就是一种挑剔,如果说鸡蛋里选骨头,程度上就不够了。 造句:我挑到了一条自己喜欢的手链,毫不犹豫地买了下来。 我选了最近的小路赶回家。 字义区别 “挑”扁担等两头挂着东西,用肩担着:~土。~夫(旧时以给人挑货物行李为业的人)。 2. 挑的东西:~担。 3. 挖取:~荠菜。 4. 量词,用于成挑儿的东西:一~儿白菜。 5. 选,拣:~选。~拣。~剔。~肥拣瘦。 6. 古同“佻”,佻达。 “选”1. 挑拣,择:~择。~购。~辑(a.挑选并辑录;b.选辑成的书)。~拔。~用。~贤任能。 2. 用投票或举手等表决方式推举出代表或负责人:~举。普~。 3. 被选中的(人或物):入~。人~。 4. 选辑成册的作品:文~。诗~。短篇小说~。 图书在中国原指典籍,包括书籍、画册、图片等出版物。,广义的图书泛指各种类型的读物,既包括甲骨文、金石拓片、手抄卷轴,又包括当代出版的书刊、报纸,甚至包括声像资料、缩徽胶片(卷)及机读目录等新技术产品。   而书籍是图书的重要组成部分,是装订成册的著作的总称。 分享本回答由科学教育分类达人 李娟认
