v. (动词)
  1. determine的基本意思是确定事物的界限或范围,指经调查或认真思考后明确地判断事物的真伪、是非,或确定问题所涉及的范围、性质、内容等,即“作出决定”或“使…决定”。凡是被决定的事而绝无疑问者大都用determine来表示。determine还含有决定后加以坚持的含义。常用于法律或科技方面等。引申可作“限定; 制定”解。
  2. determine还可表示对某事物产生决定性的“影响”或“决定”。
  3. determine可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。用作及物动词时,可接名词、代词、动词不定式(而不是动名词)或表示命令、请求的从句作宾语,还可接以“to be+ n. ”或动词不定式充当补足语的复合宾语。
  4. determine后接that从句时,作“决定”解,从句中的谓语动词用虚拟式。作“断定”解,从句中的谓语动词用陈述式。

    他决定要给儿子一个好的教育。

v. (动词)
determine to-v, be determined to-v
  • 这两种结构的区别在于:
  • 1.determine to- v 中的determine是谓语动词; 而be determined
  • to- v 中的determined是determine的过去分词,用于系表结构。
  • 2.determine to- v 可表示“决定做某事”的动作,也可表示“决心做某事”的状态; 而be determined to- v 只表示“决心做某事”的状态。
  • 3.determine是瞬间动词,不可与表示一段时间的状语连用; 而be determined则可与表示一段时间的状语连用。
  • 4.人们的行事方法往往一经determine(决定,动作)便be determined(下决心,状态)。
    • determine, decide, fix, make up one's mind, resolve, settle
  • 这组词(组)都有“决定”的意思。其区别在于:
  • 1.decide是普通用词,指经过讨论、思考消除分歧而对是非、优劣、取舍等问题“作出决定”; resolve强调信念的目的性; 而settle则强调最后的“决定”。例如:
  • From that moment she resolved to trace the unknown element.从那时起,她决心找出这种未知的元素。
  • He resolved that nothing should hold back.他决心不为任何阻碍所挫。
  • The heavy rain might settle the changeable weather.这场大雨也许能使变幻不定的天气稳定下来。

  • Have you made up your mind about it?关于这件事,你拿定主意了没有?
  • They have made up their minds to set off tomorrow afternoon.他们决定明天下午动身。
    • determine, ascertain, discover, learn, unearth
  • 这组词都可表示“发现以前自己不知道的东西”。其区别是：
  • discover指经过调查、探索去发现已经存在或可能存在、事实上的东西,这种发现也可能出于偶然; ascertain很少指偶然的发现,侧重先前的无知与无把握,以及认真地去发现真理或真相; determine比ascertain更强调寻找事实或真理,以解决争端或争执,主要用于科学和法律方面; unearth指将隐藏的、被遗忘的、失去的或极其难以追寻的东西公之于众或暴露于世,常常强调发现以前所做的认真长期的调查; learn指获得知识,发现者一般没有或很少花多大力气。例如:
