**oval与ellipse的用法辨析**
1. **几何定义差异**
- **ellipse**(椭圆):严格的数学术语,指满足"到两定点距离之和为定值"的所有点构成的闭合曲线,有标准方程(x?/a? + y?/b? = 1)。
*例:The planets orbit the sun in elliptical paths.*
- **oval**(卵形):广义的日常用语,指任何类似鸡蛋的平滑闭合曲线,不要求数学精确性。
*例:She drew an oval face on the paper.*
2. **语域区别**

In a projective plane, a set of points, no three collinear, such that there is a unique tangent line at each point. (A tangent line is defined as a line meeting the point set at only one point, also known as a 1-secant.)
Having the shape of an oval.
Of or pertaining to an ovum.
A foci of the ellipse) is constant; equivalently, the conic section that is the intersection of a cone with a plane that does not intersect the base of the cone.
To remove from a phrase a word which is grammatically needed, but which is clearly understood without having to be stated.
Of or pertaining to eggs; done in the egg, or inception; as, oval conceptions.
Having the figure of an egg; oblong and curvilinear, with one end broader than the other, or with both ends of about the same breadth; in popular usage, elliptical.
Broadly elliptical.
A body or figure in the shape of an egg, or popularly, of an ellipse.
An oval or oblong figure, bounded by a regular curve, which corresponds to an oblique projection of a circle, or an oblique section of a cone through its opposite sides. The greatest diameter of the ellipse is the major axis, and the least diameter is the minor axis. See Conic section, under Conic, and cf. Focus.
