surviving和survival的區別

一個是動作，一個是一類人或物

surviving通常是指“倖存者”

survival是生存，倖存的名詞形式

1、 surviving是“倖存者”，可以是人，有時也可以引申為某些保留到現在的東西。有時候也不一定是經歷大變故大災難的，差點丟了性命的人，而只是用來引申經歷了反感經歷的人。

英文解釋：

a. （事故等）的倖存者

A survivor of a disaster， accident， or illness is someone who continues to live afterwards in spite of coming close to death.

b. 經歷了令人討厭，不愉快經歷等的人

A survivor of a very unpleasant experience is a person who has had such an experience， and who is still affected by it.

c. 保存下來的東西，人

If you describe a person or thing as a survivor from an earlier period， you mean that they are still present or available

but other people or things from that period have died or disappeared.

例句：

Officials said there were no survivors of the plane crash. 這裏的survivor是“倖存者”。

This building is the sole survivor from the riot in the last century. 這裏的survivor是“保存下來的東西”。

2、 survival是生存，倖存的名詞形式，很少的情況下被用來指“存活下來的東西”（something that survives）。

英文解釋：

a. 生存，存活

If you refer to the survival of something or someone， you mean that they manage to continue or exist in spite of difficult circumstances.

b. 倖存 （其實思想上和生存差不多）

If you refer to the survival of a person or living thing， you mean that they live through a

dangerous situation in which it was possible that they might die.

例句：If cancers are spotted early there's a high chance of survival. 這裏的survival就是“存活”的意思。
