n.(名词)

1. average的基本意思是“平均”“平均数”,是可数名词。引申可表示“平均水平,一般水准”,是不可数名词。

adj.(形容词)

1. average的基本意思是“平均的”,可指算术上“平均的”,也可用于一般事物; 引申可表示“平常的,普通的”,指一般水平,既非优异,亦非低劣。
2. average作“平均的”解时只用作前置定语,不用于比较等级。
3. average作“平常的”或“一般的”解时,后面的名词用单数形式比复数形式普通。假使后面的名词是单数形式,前面用the或an都可以。

v.(动词)

1. average的基本意思是“平均”,是及物动词。意为“求…的平均数”“平均做〔得到〕”时,不用于被动结构; 意为“平均为”“平均达到”时常接表示数量的名词。

n.(名词)

average, mean, median

这几个词都有“平均、平均数”之意。其区别是：

average 是“平均”或“平均数”的意思。它指的是把两个或两个以上的数相加的和,除以相加的数的个数而得的商数。mean 有“平均”或“平均数”的意思,但实际上指的是最大数和最小数之间的中数,即把二者相加的和,除以2所得的商数。median 是“中位数”的意思,它指的是按大小次序排列的一列数字中居中间的位置的那个数。试体会下面两句中这三个词的含义。

The average of a group of five workers earning respectively 3,4,5,8 and 10 dollars a day is six dollars a day whereas the median is 5 dollars. 有五个工人,每天分别挣钱3,4,5,8和10元,这组工人收入的平均数为每天6元,中间位是5元。

The mean temperature for a day with a high of 56°and a low of 34° is 45°.某日的最高气温为56°,最低气温为34°,其平均气温为45°。

medium，median，average

这些形容词均含“中等的、平均的、适中的”之意。

medium指按照某种标准来说是适中或中等的，这种标准可以是通过仪器测量而来，也可能是凭经验而得出。

median指中间位置的，统计学上指处于中间位置的一个数的。

average通常用来形容优劣难分的平庸或折衷情况，也指理论上的平均标准。

adj.(形容词)

我认为一般读者对这本书不会感兴趣。

误 I don't think the book will appeal to the average readers.

正 I don't think the book will appeal to the average reader.

析 average作“一般”解时,后面的名词用单数形式。
