condition同义词辨析
case、circumstance、condition等词都有“情况”的意思，具体用法如下：
case n. 状况，情形。尤指对某个人或群体造成影响的情形，通常用单数。
circumstance n. 情况，情形。指影响某一局面、行动、事件等的条件和事实，通常用复数。
condition n. 情况，状况。指人的`健康状况或事物所处的状态，其复数形式可指影响某事发生的一切因素。
一、单词用法：
n. (名词)
1、condition的基本意思是“条件，地位”,是可数名词，用单复数形式均可，但表示“状态、状况”时，常指事物处于不正常的状况，多作不可数名词，如果其前有形容词修饰，可与不定冠词a连用； 表示“情况，环境，形势”时常用复数形式，多指一般的。、笼统的情况。
2、condition在美式英语中可以作“不及格科目”解。
v. (动词)
1、condition的基本意思是“以…为条件”,指为满足某种目的与用途需要达到必要或适当的条件，即“使习惯于”“使适应于”，引申可表示“制约”“限制”。
2、condition是及物动词，接名词或代词作宾语。可用于被动结构，也可接以“oneself+to- v ”构成的复合宾语。
二、词义辨析：
n. (名词)
condition, circumstance, situation, state
这四个词都有“情况，状态，条件，状况”的意思。其区别在于：
1、state是普通用语，指“情况，状态”,其存在形式并不是具体事物。
2、situation指危急或重大的事态，侧重“事态”,也指“职位，职业”。
3、condition和state相比意义较狭隘，指在思考中的事物的状态，“环境”所影响的“情况”,特指事物内部的条件和状态，用复数时指比较一般、笼统的情况，侧重于“状况”。
4、circumstance指某种事件或动作发生时的情况，一般都用复数形式。
例句2：

在超过15%的`成年美国人中，一种或者更多的这些疾病未被确疹。
解析：这里的conditions，就是疾病的统称，为复数形式。
例句3：
Then we have limiting conditions for operation.
然后，我们得到运行的限制条件。
解析：这里的conditions，意思是很多限定条件，为复数形式。
Optimization of Culturing Condition and Medium Composition for the Production of Alginate Lyase by a Marine Vibrio sp. Y
Carbohydrases secreted by marine Vibrio sp. YKW-34 with strong Laminaria cell wall degrading ability were screened,and among them alginate lyase was found to be dominant. The effects of medium composition and culturing condition on the production of alginate lyase by marine Vibrio sp. YKW-34 in flask were investigated in this study. In the culture medium of marine broth, no alginate lyase was produced. The activity of the alginate lyase, after being induced, reached 5 UmL-1. The best inoculum volume and inoculum age were 10% and 12 h, respectively. The optimal temperature for alginate lyase production was 25℃. The fermentation medium was composed of 0.5% of Laminaria powder and 0.2% of KNO3 with an initial acidity of pH 8.0. Alginate could induce alginate lyase production but not as efficiently as Laminaria powder did. The addition of fucoidan, cellulose and glucose had negative effect on the alginate lyase production. Other kinds of nitrogen sources, such as yeast extract, beef extract and peptone, had positive effect on the growth of the microorganism and negative effect on alginate lyase production. In addition, the time course of alginate lyase production under the optimized condition was described. The optimal harvest time was 48 h.
