Figure is used to talk about amounts of money, but digit is usually used with 'number', when it means a series of figures to identify sth, not an amount. * figure用於指金錢的數額；digit通常與number一詞連用，用於指識别事物的一串數字，而不是某個數量◆The deal has been signed for a seven-figure sum.這筆涉及七位數金額的交易已達成。◆She dialled the four-digit extension number.她撥了四位數的分機號。Either word can be used to talk about an increase, although digit is more common than figure in American English. 這兩個詞均可用於表示增加，但在美式英語中digit較figure常用◆The company is currently experiencing double figure / digit growth.該公司目前正經歷兩位數的增長。 Digit is used more often than figure in texts about the use of technology and numbers appearing on equipment such as radio alarm clocks, calculators, cash machines, etc. 與figure相比，digit較常用於有關技術應用的文本裏；此外，收音機鬧鐘、計算器、自動取款機之類的設備上所顯示的數字的位數亦較常用digit表示。 ■ character [countable] (rather formal or technical 術語) a letter, sign, mark or symbol used in writing, printing or on computers （書寫、印刷或計算機上的）文字，字母，符號◆This size of type produces a line 30 characters long.用這種字號，一行可長達30個字符。◆These are the Chinese characters meaning 'wind' and 'water'.這些漢字的意思是wind（風）和water（水）。■ mark [countable] (used in compounds 用於複合詞) a written or printed sign that you use in order to write clearly, showing things such as where sentences end 符號；記號◆punctuation marks標點符號◆a question / exclamation mark問號；感歎號■ sign [countable] (used in compounds 用於複合詞) a mark used to represent sth, especially in mathematics （尤指數學）符號；記號◆a pound / dollar sign英鎊／元的符號◆a plus / minus sign加號；減號NOTE 辨析 Symbol or sign?Apart from being used to talk about the letters representing chemical elements, symbol usually refers to a shape or small picture with a fixed meaning. A sign is likely to be more simple, consisting of one or two lines, such as a dollar sign or an equals sign. The meaning of a symbol may be less well-known than the meaning of a sign. * symbol除了用以指代表化學元素的字母符號外，通常還指具有固定含義的形狀或小圖。sign可能更簡單，由一兩條線組成，如dollar sign（元的符號$）或equals sign（等號=）。一個symbol的含義可能不如一個sign的含義那樣爲人所熟知。
