v.(动词)

1. sort的基本意思是指按照某人〔物〕的特征和属性进行分类、分级,使其更加整齐与完整。
2. sort可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,接名词或代词作宾语; 用作不及物动词时,常与副词out连用表示“整理”“解决”,有筛选的意味。

n.(名词)

1. sort用作名词时可作“种类,类别”解,指有相似性质或特征的事物所形成的种类,常接介词 of。sort of后的可数名词多为单数形式,有时也可为复数形式,当sort of sb/sth 用作主语时,谓语动词的数随sb/sth 而变化。
2. sort也可作“某一类人”解,一般用作单数。

sort, description, kind, nature, type

There are four basic types of blood.有四种基本血型。

sort表示“大体上属于同类的”,有时含有轻蔑之意。例如:

How did you get this sort of ideas into your head?你的脑袋里怎么会有这种想法?

description与nature也有kind的意思,但description指叙述或描述的一类。例如:

He is a person of that description.他就是那种人。

nature指实质和特性上相似的一类。例如:

class正式用词，指门类、种类或优劣等级；用于指动植物的分类时，表示“纲”。
