常见错误

❌ 错误:He is a thane in the modern company.
✓ 正确:He is a manager in the modern company.

thane 是历史词汇,指中世纪贵族,不适用于现代企业场景;应使用 manager、executive 等现代职位词。

❌ 错误:The thane has many workers.
✓ 正确:The thane had many vassals or serfs.

thane 通常与封建制度下的 vassals(封臣)或 serfs(农奴)搭配,workers 过于现代和泛化,不符合历史语境。

近义词辨析

lord

lord 是更广泛的术语,泛指贵族或统治者,可用于不同历史时期和地区;thane 特指中世纪苏格兰和英格兰的特定贵族阶层,更具地域和历史限制。

A thane in Scotland might be equivalent to a lord in England, but thane implies a specific feudal role.

baron

baron 通常指欧洲封建制度中的高级贵族,拥有爵位和领地,比 thane 更正式和通用;thane 在苏格兰语境中可能类似 baron,但 baron 使用更广泛。

While a thane held local authority, a baron often had broader political influence across regions.
