Synonyms & Differences 近义词辨析

Compared meaning: the act of going into a place or stage (noun).

比较义项:进入(某地/某阶段)的动作(名词)。

  • entry 本词

    The neutral, everyday word for the act of going into a place; often paired with "into" and common in formal or administrative contexts like visas, fees, or competitions.

    表示进入某地这一动作的中性常用词,常与“into”搭配,也常见于签证、费用、比赛报名等正式语境。

    Entry into the competition is free, but you must register by Friday.

    报名参加这场比赛是免费的,但你必须在星期五之前登记。

  • entrance

    Less common than "entry" for the act itself; often implies a noticeable or dramatic arrival, as in the fixed phrase "make an entrance", or beginning a new stage such as a career.

    作“进入”这一动作使用时不如 entry 常见,常暗示引人注目或戏剧性的到场,如固定短语“make an entrance”,也可指开始一个新阶段,如进入某个职业。

    She made a dramatic entrance at the party, arriving fashionably late.

    她在派对上戏剧性地登场,故意姗姗来迟。

Entry and entrance both mean going into a place. Entry is the neutral, everyday word. Entrance often suggests a dramatic arrival, or starting a new stage in life or work. This does not cover entrance as 'a door', or the verb entrance meaning 'to fascinate'.

entry 和 entrance 在表示“进入”这一动作时意思相近,但 entry 是中性、常用的说法,entrance 则更强调引人注目或戏剧性的到场,也可指进入人生或事业的新阶段。这里不比较 entrance 表示“入口、门口”的名词义项,也不比较其作动词表示“使入迷”的义项。
