n.（名詞）
For most of its long history in English,literate has meant only .familiar with literature,. or more generally, .well-educated, learned.;it is only during the last hundred years that it has also come to refer to the basic ability to read and write.Its antonymilliterate has an equally broad range of meanings: anilliterate person may be incapable of reading a shopping list or perhaps may only be unable to grasp an allusion to Shakespeare or Keats.The termfunctional illiterate is often used to describe a person who can read or write to some degree, but below a minimum level required to function in even a limited social situation or job setting.More recently, the meanings of the wordsliteracy and illiteracy have been extended from their original connection with reading and literature to any body of knowledge. For example, .geographic illiterates. cannot identify the countries on a map,and .computer illiterates. are unable to use a word-processing system.None of these uses ofliteracy or illiteracy are incorrect, but it might be preferable to use another word in instances where the context does not make the meaning clear.
在英文悠久的歷史中，literate 大部分時期只表示.精通文學的.或更概括一些， 指.受過良好教育的，有學問的.；僅僅是在上個世紀它才開始表示讀和寫的基本能力。它的反義詞illiterate 有著同樣廣泛的意義： 一個illereare 的人也許連張購物單都不會讀， 或許只是不理解莎士比亞或濟慈的典故。functional illiterate 一詞用於描寫一個具有一定程度的讀寫能力， 但還不到甚至在一個有限的社會環境或工作環境中運用語言所須的最低水平。最近，literacy 和 illiteracy 這兩詞的含義已經從它們原先與閱讀和文學的聯繫擴展到與任何一種知識的聯繫。 例如，一個.地理盲.不會在地圖上尋找國家，而一個.計算機盲.不會使用文字信息處理系統。literacy 和 illiteracy 的這些用法都是正確的， 但是當上下文可能導致意義混淆時還是用其它詞更好一些
