Synonyms & Differences 近义词辨析

Compared meaning: a group of people (noun).

比较义项:一群人(有共同身份或共同行动的一伙人)(名词)。

  • crew 本词

    Crew refers to a team organized for a shared task, such as sailors, cabin staff or filmmakers; the tone is neutral to positive and fits formal or everyday work contexts.

    crew指为完成某项任务而组织起来的团队,如船员、机组人员或摄制组;语气中性偏正面,常用于正式或日常的工作场合。

    The flight crew greeted passengers warmly as they boarded the plane.

    机组人员热情地迎接登机的乘客。

  • gang

    Gang suggests an informal, often disorderly or disreputable group, commonly of young people or criminals; the tone is casual to negative, unlike neutral words for an organized team.

    gang指非正式的、往往带有捣乱或不良色彩的一伙人,常指青少年或罪犯团伙;语气随意偏负面,不同于表示有组织团队的中性词。

    A noisy gang of teenagers hung around the corner store every evening.

    一群吵闹的青少年每天傍晚都聚在街角商店附近。

Both words mean a group of people. Crew means a team organized for a task, like sailors or film staff; the tone is neutral to formal. Gang suggests an informal, often disorderly or criminal group, usually young people; the tone is casual to negative.

这两个词都可以表示“一群人”,但语气和场合不同:crew强调为完成某项任务而组织起来的团队,语气中性偏正式;gang多指非正式聚集、常带捣乱或违法色彩的一伙人,语气随意且偏负面。这里不比较 gang 作动词的“联合起来(对付某人)”(gang up on)这一用法。
