• status 本词

  Marks a stage, category or official standing within a process or system, e.g. order status, marital status; answers 'what stage or category' rather than 'how good'.

  status 表示某事物在流程或系统中所处的阶段、类别或官方身份，例如订单状态、婚姻状况；回答的是“处于什么阶段或类别”，而不是“好坏程度”。

  You can check your order status on the website.

  你可以在网站上查看你的订单状态。

• condition

  Describes the physical state or quality of something, often its health, function or appearance, e.g. good condition, poor condition; answers 'how good or bad' rather than 'what stage'.

  condition 描述事物的物理状态或质量，常涉及健康、性能或外观，例如状况良好、状况不佳；回答的是“好坏程度”，而不是“处于什么阶段”。

  The old car is still in good condition.

  这辆旧车状况依然良好。

Status and condition can both mean 'state', but with different focus. Status marks a stage or category in a process, such as order status or marital status. Condition describes the physical state or quality of something, often health or appearance, such as good condition.

这两个词都可译为“状态/状况”，但含义不同：status 强调事物所处的阶段或类别（如订单状态、婚姻状况），condition 强调事物的物理状态或质量好坏（如车况、健康状况）。两者搭配的形容词和语境也不同，初学者容易混用。
