1、作名词:choice强调自由选择,不论选择的方式或多少;alternative强调必须从两个或多个选择中选择一个。例如:
I believe that he can make a judicious choice.我相信他能作出明智的选择。
You have the alternative of leaving or staying and behaving.你或是离开,或是留在这里守规矩,两者之间请做选择。
2、作形容词:alternative意思是“两者择一的;供选择的;非主流的”;choice意思是“上等的;精选的”。
词义辨析:
1、choice,preference,option,selection,election
这些名词均含有“选择”之意。
(1)choice侧重指自由选择的权利或特权。
(2)preference侧重因偏见、爱好或判断等而进行选择。
(3)option着重特别给予的选择权,所选物常常相互排斥。
(4)selection指作广泛的选择,着重选择者的识别力或鉴赏力。
(5)election强调目的和达到目的判断能力。
2、choice, elegant, fine
这三个词均可指“上等的,精美的,优美的”。其区别在于:fine是常用词; choice指品质上等的,通常经过精心选择,且选择者能判断其品质上的细微差别; elegant指“雅致的”“考究的”。例如:
(1)He does fine work.他工作做得好。
(2)He selected a choice piece of jade.他选中一块上等玉。
(3)The designer was noted for his elegant styles.那位时装设计师以其风格高雅著称。

两词均可作名词表示“选择”,但在意思与用法上存在着异同。
(1)alternative,可数名词,它只有两个用法,一是表示“可作的选择”或“选择的余地”,也可理解为“选择的可能性”,此时,它可与choice互换使用。如:
One of the alternatives open to you is to resign.
You have the alternative of marrying or remaining a bachelor.
Caught in the act, he had no alternative but to confess.
二是表示这种选择是用以“替代的东西或办法”。此时须注意,其后与它搭配的介词是to。如:
What was the alternative to going home?
The only alternative to it are gas and candles.
The alternative to being taken prisoner was to die fighting.
(2)choice除了和alternative一样表示“可作的选择”、“选择的余地”外,还可表示“选择的行为”、“选择的权利”、“选中的人或物”或“供选择的种类或范围”。如:
What influenced you most in your choice of career? (选择的行为)
If I had the choice, I would retire at thirty. (选择的权利)
She wouldn’t be my choice as Prime Minister. (选中的人)
There’s no much choice in the shops. (供选择的种类或范围)
(3)除作名词外,两个词均可作形容词,alternative意为“可用以代替其它事物的”、“另一可选用的”、“其他的”。如:
Have you got an alternative suggestion?
The alternative book to study for the examination is “War and Peace”.
choice作形容词则表示“精选的”、“高级的”。如:
The shop was selling choice apples so I bought a pound.
