Learning English for China
Deep Dive
What is the main difference between 'version' and 'edition'?
The main difference lies in their usage scope. 'Version' is more versatile and can refer to different forms of software, products, ideas, or even personal changes. 'Edition' typically refers to formally released, sequential versions of publications like books, albums, or video games.
Can 'version' be used to describe personal changes?
Yes, 'version' can describe personal changes, such as someone becoming a more confident version of themselves after therapy.
What are some common fixed phrases that include the word 'edition'?
Common fixed phrases include 'special edition', 'limited edition', and 'collector's edition', often used in advertising to highlight the scarcity or value of a particular version of a product.
Why can't 'version' replace 'edition' in the phrase 'limited edition goods'?
'Edition' in 'limited edition goods' refers to a formally released, sequential version of a product, emphasizing its scarcity or uniqueness. 'Version' is too broad and doesn't convey the same sense of formal release or scarcity.
How is 'version' used in the context of stories or events?
'Version' can describe different accounts or memories of the same event, such as when two people have differing recollections of what happened.

大家好 欢迎收听 BBC 英语教学的你问我答节目 I'm BuliI'm Georgie and I've got a question here from one of our listeners 你好 我想问一下单词 version 和 addition 的区别 谢谢
这位听众想知道两个意思相近的单词 version 和 edition 的区别这两个词都可以做名词意思是某物的其中一个样式或版本 Bully, have you tried the latest edition of your favorite video game?Yes, I have, but I don't really like this versionI think I'll just play the old one again
The words edition and version both refer to different forms of something, in this case, different forms of the same video game.In this example, they're fairly interchangeable, but there is a difference.Let's take a look.
是的,这两个单词的区别主要体现在使用范围上其中 version 这个词的意思更加广泛不论是一个软件、一款产品还是一个想法或者创意等等只要是有所变化的不同版本我们都可以用 version 来表示来听两个例句 I love the acoustic version of this songI find it relaxingThe new version of the software is much more intuitive
version can also be used to talk about people when they've made changes to themselves, and stories when two people have different memories of the same event. Let's hear more examples.After therapy, she became a more confident version of herself.Robert's version of the story is very different to Andrew's.How will we know who's telling the truth?
上面的例句中 version 被用来指同一个人的不同样子 different versions of a person 和对同一件事的不同说法 different versions of a story 这些都是 version 的常见用法
Edition 这个词则略有不同我们在用 Edition 来谈论同一事物的不同版本时通常指的是按顺序发布的正式的样式或版本通常用于描述一本书一张专辑或电子游戏等出版物的不同版本 Yes, you'll often see the word inside the cover of booksto indicate how many times it has been published in a new formfor example, 7th editionLet's hear other examples
除此之外我们还可能经常听到一些包含单词 edition 的固定搭配比如 special edition 特别版 limited edition 限量版或 collector's edition 收藏版等等
这些用法通常用于广告中强调商品某个版本的稀缺性或珍贵性
最后让我们来复习一下本期节目的主要内容单词 version 和 edition 都可以做名词意思是同一事物的不同样式或版本 version 所表达的含义更加广泛可以用来表示任何事物的不同版本比如 My children don't like spicy foodso I made a different version of the recipe without chilies
我的孩子不喜欢吃辣的,所以我做了这道菜谱不加辣椒的样式。而 edition 通常指的是按顺序发布的正式的样式或版本。就比如,我会说,I really don't like this new edition of my favorite video game.我真的不喜欢我最爱的这款游戏发布的新版本。That's a shame, Bully. Maybe you can send them your ideas for the next edition.
