39、paper
(1) 論文。學期結(jié)束，學生難免會要被要求完成幾篇papers。
How much time did you have for writing the paper? 你寫論文花了多少時間?
What’s the teacher’s comment on the student’s paper?老師怎么評價這個學生的論文?
Are you sure you have corrected all the typing errors in this paper?
你確信論文中所有打印錯誤都更改了嗎?
(2) 試卷。期中考試有mid-term paper，期末有term paper。因此，如果提到The paper was not as easy as we hope. 就是考試卷子沒有想象得那么容易之意了。
(3)書面。與paper test 書面考試(筆試)相對的就是oral test(口試)。固定搭配on paper也即表示“以書面形式”。
(4) 平裝。a paper back book / paperback edition平裝書，與hard back book / hard cover精裝書相對。聽力中會出現(xiàn)的情形是，在促銷(on sale)期間，平裝書和精裝書一樣的價格，這個時候大家當然會更愿意選擇精裝書了。
Do you have the paperback edition of this dictionary? 這本字典有平裝版嗎?
(5) 新聞報紙。來源于newspaper。在日常用語中，直接用paper指代新聞報紙。
I’m calling about the three-bedroom house you advertised in yesterday’s paper.
The paper says people tend to feel unwell if they sleep less than six hours a day.
I’d like to place an advertisement for a used car in this Sunday edition of your paper.
(6) 一般的紙張。該詞最基本的意思。
I am looking for quality paper to type my essay. 我在找高質(zhì)量的紙來打印論文。
