crop与harvest辨析     crop与harvest表示“收成，收获”，使用时的区别如下。 1.crop指“收成，收获”是日常的农业用词，表示在一个季节或者地区某种农作物的收成。当指农作物总称时常用复数形式。比如： Sugar is an important crop on the island.糖料作物是这个岛上的一种重要作物。We are looking forward to a bumper crop.我们期盼着大丰收。Rice farmers here still plant and harvest their crops by hand.这里的稻农仍然用手工种植和收割庄稼。 Each year it produces a fine crop of fruit.每年这里的水果收成都不错。The U.S. government says that this year's corn crop should be about 8 percent more than last year.美国政府称今年的玉米产量应该比去年增长约8﹪。 2.harvest的意思是“收成，收获”，通常只限于谷物，一般指一年一次的收成，较书面语。在比喻中指劳动成果时，比crop普通。比如： Rice farmers here still plant and harvest their crops by hand.这里的稻农仍然用手工种植和收割庄稼。It rained during the harvest.收获期间下雨了。A splendid harvest was behind them.他们已获得了大丰收。 A bumper wheat harvest is anticipated [expected] this year.今年小麦可望获得丰收。Farmers are extremely busy during the harvest.农民在收获季节里十分忙碌。It was late August and the harvest had been safely gathered in.已是八月下旬，庄稼都妥善收割完毕。
