Synonyms & Differences 近义词辨析

Compared meaning: to put something into a box or package (verb).

比较义项:把东西装箱/包装起来(动词)。

  • box 本词

    Box means to put something into a box specifically, often for storage or moving; it doesn't necessarily involve wrapping, and sounds plainer and more everyday than package.

    box特指把东西装进箱子里,常用于存放或搬家,不一定包含包装的动作;它是比package更普通、更日常的说法。

    She boxed up her old books before moving to a new apartment.

    她在搬到新公寓之前把旧书装箱了。

  • package

    Package means to wrap or place something into a box or container, usually to prepare it for shipping or sale; it implies more careful preparation and is common in commercial contexts.

    package指把东西包装起来或装入箱子/容器中,通常是为了运输或销售而做准备;它带有更仔细的准备工序的意味,常用于商业场景。

    The factory packages each phone carefully before shipping it to stores.

    工厂在把每部手机运往各门店之前都仔细包装好。

Box and package both mean to put something into a container. Box means to put something into a box specifically, often for storage or moving, without implying wrapping. Package means to wrap something for shipping or sale, implying more careful preparation.

box和package在“装箱、包装”这个义项上意思相近,但box更强调“放进箱子里”这个动作本身,而package更强调为运输或销售而包装、准备,常带包裹的动作。这里不比较box作名词“箱子”或package作名词“包裹”的用法。
