kind 指性质相同,且极相似之物质,在分类中可作为一类者.例如: What kind of cake do you like best?你最喜欢哪一种饼? type 则指型,类型,比较具体、肯定等,而kind比较笼统,模糊.例如: Men of his type are not to be trusted.像他那种类型的人不可信赖. 比较起来,kind 用的比较多. What kind of job you have?应该改为:What kind of job do you have?这句话需要用助动词. What type of story are you said just?应该改为:What kind of story did you say just now?表示时间只用just 不合适;say 是实意动词,疑问句中不能再用be 动词.在这类句子中,kind 比较常用.
