n.(名词)

baby的基本意思是“婴儿”,指还不会说话或走路的新生婴儿,也可指“幼兽”或“雏鸟”。引申可表示“家庭或团体中最年幼的成员”,在口语中, baby也可表示孩子气的人或胆怯的人。

baby在俚语中还有“女孩”的意思,尤指男子的女友。

表示婴儿的性别时，可说a boy〔girl〕 baby，也可说a baby boy〔girl〕，前者侧重boy〔girl〕，后者侧重baby。

baby常用it〔which〕而不用he〔she, who〕指代。

baby常可用在名词前作定语,意思是“小型的”“微型的”。须注意其与baby's作定语时意思不同。

v.(动词)

baby用作动词时及物，基本意思是“把…当作婴儿看待”，也可指“纵容”，引申可表示“小心地使用”。

指代baby的代词常是it或者which，而非him或者she。

The baby is crying,I wonder what's wrong with it.

baby boy和boy baby的表达方式都可以。前者的侧重点是指男孩还处在婴儿时代，baby起修饰词的作用，而后者的侧重点是指这个婴儿是个男孩。同原理可用的有baby girl和girl baby。需注意到是是baby brother，baby sister，baby son，baby daughter不能改为brother baby等；

通常把baby作为专有名词，其前面不加the，即使只有一个婴儿，也不能加the。

Please look after baby.

baby和babe的区别，baby通常以常规形式出现在一般的句子中，而babe就显得更加文言，有诗意修辞。在比喻用法中，babe暗含朴实，天真，稚气的意思，而baby暗含无男子气概，怯懦的意思。
