刚才有一道问题,
Museums were built with the profits. They were built with the______.(同义词转换)
A. benefits
B. earnings
C. winings
D. excesses
Please give me the right answer and tell me what is wrong for each word.
讨论如下 http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/10255530.html

本来是选a的,很快看到了关于b的分析,觉得也不无道理。
不过仔细想一下,关于b的分析基本上是基于词义的 - 同义词转换。认为Earnings 与 profits 意义相近。
语言除了词义以外,还有语境和通常用法。
一般情况下,如果说something is built with___, 通常的用法是 profits, 次之则是benefits.
benefit这个词从词义上说是profit的同义词。都是不计较有没有付出,就是earn的过程的一种收益。所以从语境和通常用法上说,这两个词在大多数作为名词的情况下都可以互换。所以名词的复数profits与benefits在大多数情况下也完全可以互换。
也可以接 earnings, 但是earnings 并非单独出现,通常是有限定的出现。因为"Earnings”本身就是一个复数名词 plural noun,是可以单独以复数形式出现的名词,本意是工作收入,the amount of money that someone is paid for the work they do (Cambridge Advanced Learner's D
