小知识
Don’t be intimidated by the bulk of the dictionary on your desk. If you look in it, you’ll see that bulk is a small word used to talk about large things.
Bulk has a variety of meanings that all involve something large, like the bulk of a ship in the harbor, or the excess bulk of your overweight cat. Bulk can also mean “majority,” as when the bulk of your diet is tater tots and guacamole. You can expect to put on a lot of bulk if you eat like that.

名词辨析
bulk，size
这两个词都可指某物在数量、程度、型号上的“大小”。其区别是1.bulk不指准确的度量，只表示相当大的量；size则相对准确些。例如Great bulk does not always mean great weight.体积大并不意味着分量重。2.size可指“尺寸，号码”，bulk没有这种用法。例如What size shoes do you want?—I want size seven.你要哪号码的鞋子?—我要7号的。bulk，the larger part这两个词(组)的共同意思是“大部分”。后者只用于看得见、摸得着的东西；前者适用于无形物质。
