用简明的语言对某一概念的本质特征作规定性的说明叫下定义。下定义能准确揭示事物的本质，是科技说明文常用的方法。
下定义的时候，可以根据说明的目的需要，从不同的角度考虑。有的着重说明特性，如关于“人”的定义；有的着重说明作用，如关于“肥料”的定义；有的既说明特性又说明作用，如关于“统筹方法”和“应用科学”的定义。
①人是能制造工具并使用工具进行劳动的高级动物。
②肥料是能供给养分使植物生长的物质。
③统筹方法，是一种安排工作进程的数学方法。
④工程技术的科学叫做应用科学，它是应用自然科学的基础理论来解决生产实践中出现的问题的学问。
无论从什么角度考虑，无论采用什么方式，只要是下定义，就必须揭示事物的本质，只有这样的定义才是科学的。比如，有人说：“人是两足直立的动物。”这个定义就是不科学的，因为它没能揭示事物的本质。“人是能制造工具并使用工具进行劳动的高级动物。”这才是科学的定义，因为它揭示了人的本质。

Do you ever watch movies from other countries? Whenever I do, I think about how similar people really are all around the world. Even though the cultures and languages in those movies are different from mine, people all around the world are alike in their goals and emotions.
One time, I saw a movie made in china that showed parents helping their children with their homework. . My parents helped me the same way. Another time I saw a movie from Argentina. It showed school children playing hide and seek, which is a game I used to play with my friends during recess. Seeing these films demonstrated to me that education is a common goal in every country. Parents want their children to learn so their lives will improve. It also showed me that children in schools everywhere wants to play with their friends. Sometimes the games are similar to ours and sometimes they’re different. Still, they all have the common purpose of fun and learning to work together.
Earning a living is another common goal. I’ve often seen that in movies about other countries. In some countries, people choose their careers from what they like and are good at. In other countries, careers are chosen for them following the traditions of their families. But in every country it seems that people care a great deal about earning a living, and working hard is respected.
Showing people having fun together is always an important part of any movies, no matter what country it comes from. People everywhere want to be entertained, and want to spend time with their families and friends. Different cultures sometimes enjoy different activities, but all cultures enjoy some form of sports, music and dancing.
The movies I’ve seen make it clear to me that no matter the cultural differences between countries, people everywhere have the same basic needs and goals.

从一个侧面，就事物的某一个特点做些解释，这种方法叫诠释法。
定义法和诠释法常采用“某某是什么”的语言形式。形式相同，如何区分呢？一般来说，“是”字两边的话能够互换，就是定义；如果不能互换，就是诠释。
例如，“人是能制造工具并使用工具进行劳动的高级动物”这句话，改成“能制造工具并使用工具进行劳动的高级动物是人”，意思不变。“雪是在云中形成的一种固态降水物”这句话，如果改为“云中形成的固态降水物是雪”就不成。由此可以辨别，前一句是定义说明，后一句是诠释说明。
