用法讲解

v. (动词)
  1. conceive的基本意思是在头脑中形成一个想法、看法、设计等,含有由于头脑不断思考而使想法、看法和设计不断发展之意。
  2. conceive作“设想”解时,是及物动词,可接名词、代词和名词从句作宾语,也可接以as短语充当补足语的复合宾语,常与can及其否定式连用，可用于被动结构。作此意解时,也可用作不及物动词,接of引出的短语表示“设想”的内容。
  3. conceive作“怀孕”解时,可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。
v. (动词)

  • 这组词的共同意思是“在思想中形成一个看法或观点”。其区别在于:think指想起一个主意或观念,也指思考反思得出结论或作出判断,或认真的思想活动,或在头脑中形成鲜明的形象或清楚的看法或作出打算或目的; conceive指在头脑中组织好自己的思想,强调通过思考而形成一个见解; imagine强调形象的思维; fancy强调形象的不真实或想法的不正确,有时甚至侧重脱离事实、想入非非。例如:

  • 这组词的共同意思是“设想,构想”,其区别是：

  • 2.conceive通常用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词; perceive通常只用作及物动词。
    • devise，conceive，formulate
  • 这些动词的均含“设计、设想”之意。
  • devise侧重设计的临时性和权宜性，并隐含有更多的设想可用。
  • conceive强调在制定计划之前的先有设想构思。
  • formulate与conceive相反，指在devise之后的具体设计活动。
    • think，conceive，imagine，fancy，realize
  • 这些动词均可表示“在思想中形成一个看法或观念”之意。
  • think最普通用词，指想或思索，也指由反复思考而作出判断或得出结论等。
  • conceive指在头脑中组织好自己的思想，在心中形成一个系统的思想或一个见解。
  • imagine比conceive更强调形象思维，指在头脑中形成一个清晰明确的意象。
  • fancy与imagine略不同，往往指的是不切实际的，属于梦幻般的想象。
  • realize指领悟，通过生动的构思或想象从而抓住事物的本质。
