地质学中,圆滑砾石胶结而成的岩石是 conglomerate(砾岩);agglomerate 专指棱角状火山碎屑经热力黏结形成的火山角砾岩。该语境强调圆滑砾石,故不能用 agglomerate。
区别:agglomerate 的岩石义指由棱角状火山碎屑胶结成的火山角砾岩;conglomerate 的岩石义指砾石经水流磨圆后胶结成的砾岩,并且更常用于商业里的“集团、联合企业”。地质语境看碎屑是否呈棱角状;商业语境通常用 conglomerate。
区别:aggregate 强调由若干部分相加而成的整体,常用于数据、经济中的“总量”或建筑用的骨料,是中性、技术性的说法,不指火山岩;agglomerate 多指物理上聚成的一团,尤其在地质学中指火山角砾岩。谈数字合计或建筑材料用 aggregate;谈火山碎屑岩或松散团块用 agglomerate。
区别:conglomeration 指多种不同事物杂乱聚在一起的状态或产物,常带“混杂、无序”的意味;agglomerate 作名词更中性,并且是地质学术语,指火山角砾岩或多种冰冻结成的冰盖。描述杂七杂八的集合用 conglomeration;地质岩石或中性团块用 agglomerate。
