1. build用作名词时，其意为“体格”“体形”“身材”等，通常是不可数的。如：
We are of the same build. 我们的体形相同。
He was of medium build and about my height. 他中等身材，大约我这么高。
2. 若表示某种身材或体形等（通常有描绘性定语修饰），则可连用不定冠词。如：
I wanted a more athletic and muscular build. 我想拥有更加健壮、结实的身材。
You're a surprisingly strong swimmer for one of such a slight build. 你这么瘦小的个子，想不到是游泳高手。
但是，如果含义抽象，且不强调“某种”之意，即使其前有描绘性定语修饰，也不连用不定冠词。如：
a man of athletic build 身体强健的男子
a man of powerful build 身体强壮的男子

<辨要>三者可解作“修建，建造”，如：build(set up,put up) a hospital(a school,factory,new house,etc.)修建医院（学校、工厂、新房等）。但是，所修建之物低于或不高于地面时，应用 build，如上述第三句通常不用 put up 或 set up 替换。put up 和 set up 都有“搭起”，“升起”的意思。上述第二句中也可用 put up。set up 还有“建立，创立”的意思。
