7. next of kin：是指家人或者近親(closest relatives or anyone in the family)。 在美國，所謂"親人"也是依每個(gè)人的不同情況而定的，可能是夫婦、父母、兒女，或是叔叔嬸嬸、表兄弟姐妹。
例如：If a person has a serious car accident, his or her next of kin will be notified. (如果遭遇嚴(yán)重車禍，當(dāng)事人的親屬就會接到通知。)
At the funeral all next of kin were in attendance. (所有的親屬都參加了葬禮。)
The doctor should discuss the prognosis candidly with the next of kin. (醫(yī)生應(yīng)該把診斷結(jié)果坦白地告知病人家屬。)
All his property will eventually go to his next of kin. (他的所有財(cái)產(chǎn)最終都給了他的親人。)
如果"kin"單獨(dú)使用，用作家屬或親屬的總稱，則通常后面不加 s。
例如：All my kin attended the family get-together. (我們?nèi)壹垡惶谩?
