advantage语境含义

advantage既可作名词,也可作动词。“对某人有利或不利”英语可以说:advantage/disadvantage sb.; put/place sb. at advantage/disadvantage, put/place sb. in an advantageous position或...to sb.’s advantage;“比……更有利”,英语是...have/give the advantage over...;“什么有很多好处”,我们可以说:There are advantages to...或者...give/bring us advantages。

advantageous/disadvantageous是其形容词形式。例句:新的税收制度对小公司有利。The new tax system is advantageous to small businesses.

此外,当描述“在经济上或社会上处于不利的地位”时,可以使用disadvantaged这个单词。
