medium的詳細講解：

詞語用法

n. (名詞)

medium只有作“通靈的人,關亡人”解時,復數形式才用mediums。

注意medium的復數形式有兩種，一種是mediums，另一種是media。在精神層面上來說，一般只用復數mediums，如spiritualist mediums表示巫師。表示除了精神層面以外的時，兩者都可以用，但是media更為普遍。

詞義辨析

medium，median，average: 這些形容詞均含“中等的、平均的、適中的”之意。

medium指按照某種標準來說是適中或中等的，這種標準可以是通過儀器測量而來，也可能是憑經驗而得出。

median指中間位置的，統計學上指處于中間位置的一個數的。

average通常用來形容優劣難分的平庸或折衷情況，也指理論上的平均標準。
