pastime指空余时间的娱乐活动,往往不具有什么内在的价值或意义,常指消遣,很多情况下可以和hobby通用; recreation强调改变环境以调节生活节奏或在紧张的工作之后放松一下。例如:
(1)His favourable pastime〔hobby〕 is playing chess.

amusement和pastime翻译成”娱乐,消遣”时有何区别?
当在词义辨析的时候遇到困难,就应当参照他们的英语意思.pastime指:An
activity
that
occupies
one's
spare
time
pleasantly,翻译为:在空余时间里让人愉悦的活动..就是说它指一项活动.
amusement有两种解释:1.The
state
of
being
amused,
entertained,
or
pleased.翻译为,
一种娱乐,高兴的状态..就是说它指一种(心理)状态.
2.Something
that
amuses,
entertains,
or
pleases,翻译为:可供娱乐的事物...要说明的是,这里的"事物"也可以指活动.所以它在层意思里与pastime相近..
综上,amusement除了指娱乐的事物,活动以外,还可以表示一种愉悦,娱乐的状态.
英语sport是什么意思?
本文部分转载自“阿则外英语笔记”,已获授权
中文的“体育”是一个近代才出现的外来词语,是经由日语从欧洲语言引进的。从字面来说,“体育”的含义相当于physical education,被视为一种“教育、培养”。
而英语中的sport并不是仅限于指“体育运动”,还可以表示“娱乐、好玩”的含义。
从根源来说,sport的各种含义都是源于“pastime, entertainment”(娱乐)这个概念,和“work”(工作)构成相对。
Sport的来源
Sport给人的印象是一个英语土生土长的原生词语,但实际上却是从拉丁语中引进而来,在大约一千年前的中世纪时进入英语。
Sport是拉丁语中disport这个动词的简写形式,但在简化时只去掉了半个词根。Disport相当于英语的carry away,指任意放任、不受约束地行动,也就是“玩耍娱乐”。
现在人们偶尔也会使用disport yourself的说法,指“娱乐放松”,大多在幽默开玩笑时使用,带有假装正式的口气。

在今天的英语中,sport最常用的含义是“体育运动”,既可以指这种抽象概念,也可以指具体的“体育项目”;这些含义都是在进入现代之后才出现的。
在美国英语中,sport在表示“体育运动”时,大多写作sports ,复数形式;但英国英语则视之为抽象名词,是不可数的,因此不采用复数形式,例如:I'm not interested in sport.
表示“好玩”的sport
Sport的entertainment含义,在今天的英语中仍然使用,但已经不再是主要用法,相关释义在字典词条中大多会按照常用程度排在后面。
作为比较正式的说法,sport可以指enjoyment or fun,即“开玩笑、并非当真”,含义和jest或joke相近,例如:
The comments were only made in sport. 那些话都是说着玩的,并非有意的。
电影《侏罗纪世界》(Jurassic World)中有一句描述暴虐霸王龙(Indominus rex)的话就是这个用法:
"She's killing for sport." 她把杀戮当做消遣。
在澳大利亚和新西兰的英语中,sport还作为一种“非正式用法”,作为对成年男性的友好称呼,例如:How are you doing, sport?
Sport做动词还有这个意思
Sport作动词用时,还可以表示得意地穿戴,或故意展示给人们看,有炫耀的成分。例如,to sport a beard,就表示故意蓄着大胡子。
例句:
She was sporting a T-shirt with the company's logo on it. 她穿了一件带有公司徽标的T恤衫,很是得意。

Lesson 19 English Social Differences 英国社会的差异
A gentleman is, rather than does. He is interested in nothing in a professional way. He is allowed to cultivate hobbies, even eccentricities, but must not practise a vocation. He must know how to ride and shoot and cast a fly. He should have relatives in the army and navy and at least one connection in the diplomatic service. But there are weaknesses in the English gentleman's ability to rule us today. He usually knows nothing of political economy and less about how foreign countries are governed. He does not respect learning and prefers 'sport '.The problem set for society is not the virtues of the type so much as its adequacy for its function, and here grave difficulties arise. He refuses to consider sufficiently the wants of the customer, who must buy, not the thing he desires but the thing the English gentleman wants to sell. He attends anadequately to technological development. Di**elieving in the necessity of large-scale production in the modern world, he is
passionately devoted to excessive secrecy, both in finance and method of production. He has an incurable and widespread nepoti** in appointment, discounting ability and relying upon a mystic entity called 'character,' which means, in a gentleman's mouth, the qualities he traditionally possesses himself. His lack of imagination and the narrowness of his social loyal ties have ranged against him one of the fundamental estates of the realm. He is incapable of that imaginative reali**
which admits that this is a new world to which he must adjust himself and his institutions, that every privilege he formely took as of right he can now attain only by offering proof that it is directly relevant to social welfare.
