在英語中,一個單詞擁有多個詞性或多個用法的現(xiàn)象并不少見。單詞 “break” 就是一個典型的例子。它既可以作動詞,也可以作名詞使用。作動詞時,“break” 除了指物體 “破碎” 以外,還有哪些意思?作名詞時的用法又有哪些呢?

As a verb, 'break' can have many meanings, but today, we are only going to look at three.
Number 1: it means 'to separate into pieces'.

2: 'break' means that something doesn't operate, or doesn't function properly.

And meaning number 3: it means 'to surpass', or 'do better than something else'.
