identity/identification

核心问题

In order to get married in this state, one must present a medical report along with his identity. 请分析句中的错误。

词典解答

identity是指“身份”,而identification(简称ID)才是指“证明身份的材料”(如identity cardidentity certificate身份证),因此应将上句中的identity改为identification。请比较下列各句中的identityidentification

  1. He had lost his identity card, (= a document which shows one's identity) and was being questioned by the police. (LASED) 他丢失了身份证,正受到警察审查。

  2. His only means of identification was his passport. (同上) 他的唯一证明他身份的材料是他的护照。

  3. There is no clue to the identity of the thief. (ALD) 没有线索来证明小偷的身份。
