Conceive
英? [k?n'si?v] ?美? [k?n'siv]
vt. 懷孕;構(gòu)思冰更;以為啡邑;持有
vi. 懷孕贱勃;設(shè)想;考慮
這個(gè)單詞雖然意義明確谤逼,但它有若干個(gè)非常常用的變形詞贵扰,意義也非常接近,要使用好森缠,唯有大量的閱讀才能夠有可靠的分辨拔鹰。例如:
conception 受孕,構(gòu)想
Her conception on the students community is recognized by authority.
conceptive 概念上的
He proposed a conceptive idea about how to achieve the goal.
concept 概念
Students had a lot of debates on the concept of liberalism.
除了本詞根的變換以外贵涵,conceive還容易和perceive混淆列肢。perceive/perception的意思對外在事物的感覺和認(rèn)知,而不是像conceive/conception一樣take in as own idea宾茂。因?yàn)閏on-的詞綴就帶有to take, to grasp的掌握含義瓷马。
我們回到Conceive本身。當(dāng)Conceive作為懷孕的動詞理解時(shí)跨晴,意義很明確欧聘,但要注意語態(tài)的區(qū)別。例如:
She conceived her baby when she was 49
She was conceived when her mother was 49
除了懷孕的動詞端盆,它更多用在form or devise an idea的意思上怀骤。比如:
The moon landing project was first conceived many decades ago.
登月項(xiàng)目是好幾十年前就構(gòu)想的。
當(dāng)conceive作為構(gòu)想的意思時(shí)焕妙,它也帶有想法孕育的意味蒋伦。所以,經(jīng)常有...ill conceived這樣的詞組焚鹊。 ?
An ill-conceived plan will never be successful, even if it got passed through.
一個(gè)有問題的計(jì)劃痕届,即使得到通過也不會成功。
莊子說:井蛙不可以語于海者,拘于虛也研叫。它的英文被譯作:
A frog in a well cannot conceive of the ocean.
