Feifei大家好，欢迎收听 BBC 英语教学的《你问我答》节目，我是冯菲菲在每集节目中，我们会回答一个大家在英语学习时遇到的疑问我们将会回答来自微博网友“康拜樱桃”的问题一起来听一下她有哪些疑惑Question你好，请问“tradition、custom”和“convention”几个词语有什么区别？

康拜樱桃Feifei网友“康拜樱桃”希望我们帮忙区分近义词“tradition、custom”和“convention”之间的区别这三个词非常实用，它们都可以用来表示“传统”的意思在汉语中，当我们说到传统和习俗，指的就是某一社会、民族中特定的思想、行为或道德。

那么，当“tradition、custom”和“convention”表示“传统”时，有哪些不同点呢？我们通过一段介绍英国传统文化和社会习俗的文字来说明它们之间的区别下面我们来听这段介绍文字ExampleThere are many traditional foods in Britain, like the famous fish and chips, the Sunday roast, and scones, a type of small unsweetened or lightly sweetened cake. Eating particular dishes on a specific holiday or at certain times of the day is a national custom. Britain has a long tradition of eating turkeys and Christmas puddings with their families on Christmas Day; it is also known for its tea culture. However, it’s the custom for some people to enjoy a brew in the morning, whereas others prefer to take afternoon tea. Before coming to the UK, we should familiarise ourselves with local customs. When the Brits greet people they know well, they hug and kiss on the cheek. We should also be aware of their social conventions – for instance, most Brits do not like it when people jump the queue.

英国有很多传统美食，比如最有名的炸鱼和薯条、星期日烤肉大餐，还有不甜或微甜的小糕点司康饼等等在特定的节日、时间吃特定的食物是一个国家的习俗比如，每到圣诞节，大多数英国人会和家人聚在一起吃火鸡、圣诞布丁等；英国的茶文化也非常出名，不过有些人的习惯是喝早茶，有些人则喜欢下午喝茶。

来英国之前，我们可以熟悉一下当地的风俗比如，英国人和熟人见面时拥抱或行贴面礼我们还应该了解其社会习俗比如，英国人普遍不喜欢插队的行为Feifei听了上面有关英国文化的例子，你分清单词“tradition、custom”和“convention”之间的区别了吗？

首先，单词 “tradition” 和 “custom” 的含义非常相近，在多数情况下可以互换使用不过， “tradition” 强调 “在特定社会或群体中代代相传的思想、行为方式”，强调 “时间长，影响深”。

“Tradition”的形容词是“traditional 传统的”让我们来回顾两个例句ExamplesThere are many traditional foods in Britain, like the famous fish and chips, the Sunday roast, and scones, a type of small unsweetened or lightly sweetened cake.

Britain has a long tradition of eating turkeys and Christmas puddings with their families on Christmas Day.

Feifei而“custom”则强调“因历史传统 traditions 而被人保留下来的习惯、传统和风俗”；“custom”也可以指个人习惯，而“tradition”则只能形容社会、家庭间沿袭的传统来回顾几个例句。

ExamplesEating particular dishes on a specific holiday or at certain times of the day is a national custom.

However, it’s the custom for some people to enjoy a brew in the morning, whereas others prefer to take afternoon tea.

Feifei最后，“convention”特指“已被社会接受的礼仪、做法、常规等等”再来听一个例句ExampleWe should also be aware of their social conventions – for instance, most Brits do not like it when people jump the queue.。

Feifei好了，本集《你问我答》节目讲解了“tradition、custom”和“convention”这三个都能表示“传统”意思的词语希望我们的分析能帮助大家分清它们之间的差别再次感谢网友“康拜樱桃”。
