Ups

“Ups” 是 “up” 的复数形式,单独使用较少,最常见于固定短语 “ups and downs”(起伏、盛衰)。科技语境中 “UPS” 大写可指不间断电源(Uninterruptible Power Supply)。

  1. “Every career has its ups and downs.” (每份事业都有起伏。)
  2. “The ups of the roller coaster scared her more than the downs.” (过山车爬升段比俯冲更让她害怕。)
  3. “They installed a UPS to protect the servers during power cuts.” (他们安装了不间断电源,在停电时保护服务器。)

“Up” 来自古英语 “up”,意为向上;复数 “ups” 在短语中强调多个上升阶段,与 “downs” 形成对比。

“Up” 为基本副词/介词;复数加 “-s”;缩写 “UPS” 为首字母缩略词,非词缀构词。

励志语境 “ups and downs” 表示人生或事业难免有起落;IT 机房 “UPS battery backup” 是基础设施常见配置。

  • 单数: up
  • 反义: downs
  • 缩写: UPS(不间断电源)
  • 固定搭配: “ups and downs” (起伏盛衰), “UPS backup” (不间断电源备份)

“up” 向上,多个 up 就是 ups;和 downs 配对就是人生起落。

“After years of ups and downs, the small shop finally found steady customers in the neighborhood.” (经历多年起落,这家小店终于在社区有了稳定客源。)
