alternative [C:l5tE:nEtiv] adj.二中择一的，选择性的 n.可供选择的办法或事物，替换物
Some traditionalists hold that alternative should be used only in situations where the number of choices involved is exactly two, because of the word’s historical relation to Latin alter, “the other of two.” H.W. Fowler, among others, has considered this restriction a fetish. The Usage Panel is evenly divided on the issue, with 49 percent accepting the sentence Of the three alternatives, the first is the least distasteful. Alternative is also sometimes used to refer to a variant or substitute in cases where there is no element of choice involved, as in We will do our best to secure alternative employment for employees displaced by the closing of the factory. This sentence is unacceptable to 60 percent of the Usage Panel. Alternative should not be confused with alternate. Correct usage requires The class will meet on alternate (not alternative) Tuesdays.
一些持传统观点的人认为alternative只能严格地用在二者择一的情况下，因为这个词来源于拉丁语alter，意思是“二者中的一个”。包括福勒在内的其他人认为这种限制是一种迷信。用法专题小组中持这两种意见的人各占一半，百分之四十九的人接受“在三个选项中，第一个是最不让人讨厌的。”这句话。alternative在没有供选择的成分存在的情况下有时也指一个变体或替换的事物，例如“如我们将尽全力保证因工厂倒闭而离开岗位的雇员以某种方式再就业。”语言用法专题小组中百分之六十的人不接受以上这句话。不能把alternative和alternate混为一谈。正确的用法是“全班隔周周二见面。”（不能用alternative）
