Synonyms & Differences 近义词辨析

Compared meaning: equipment or gear for a purpose (noun).

比较义项:装备、用具(名词)。

  • tackle

    Tackle is the whole set of gear needed for a sport or activity, especially fishing tackle (rods, hooks, lines); it names a collection of tools, not a built structure.

    tackle 指从事某项运动或活动所需的一整套用具,尤指钓具(鱼竿、鱼钩、鱼线等),强调“工具的集合”,而不是搭建起来的装置。

    She packed all her fishing tackle into a single waterproof bag.

    她把所有钓具都装进了一个防水袋里。

  • rig 本词

    Rig is a specific apparatus or structure assembled for one particular purpose, often large or technical, like an oil rig or a lighting rig.

    rig 指为某一具体用途而搭建、组装起来的一套装置或设备,往往规模较大或较专业,如油井(oil rig)或灯光架(lighting rig)。

    The film crew set up a lighting rig above the stage before filming.

    摄制组在拍摄前在舞台上方搭起了一套灯光架。

Tackle is the whole set of gear for a sport, especially fishing tackle like rods and hooks. Rig is a structure built for one purpose, often large or technical, like an oil rig or lighting rig. Not covered: tackle as a verb.

这两个词都表示“为某种用途准备的装备”,但 tackle 常指从事某项运动或活动所需的一整套用具(尤指钓具),强调“工具的集合”;rig 则指为完成具体任务而搭建、组装起来的一套装置或设备,强调“整套装置的搭建”,常见于油井、灯光、音响等专业或大型设备。这里不比较 tackle 作动词“处理,应对”的用法。
