bias的基本意思是指由于普遍的成见而再看人和事时采取不公正的、不审慎的、缺乏理性的态度,既可以用于恶感即“偏见”和“成见”,也可用于好感即“偏爱”和“癖好”,还可以用于表示“倾向”或“趋势”。
bias在用于恶感即“偏见”和“成见”时可接介词against或in favour of, towards;用于好感即“偏爱”和“癖好”时可接介词for或in favour of, towards。
bias虽以-s结尾,但却是可数名词单数形式,常与不定冠词连用。注意在be free from bias,without bias,no bias等短语中,bias前不用不定冠词。
v.(动词)bias用作动词的意思是“使倾向于”,只用作及物动词,常用于被动结构。
