accept

★★★★★

🇺🇸 /æksˈɛpt/ 🇬🇧 /əkˈsɛpt/

adj 编号: A00246 牛津3000 BNC #488 COCA #766

accept 的核心是“接纳”：可以是接受东西、同意提议、承认事实，也可以是接纳某人加入或忍受无法改变的情况。

💡 记忆钩子

把 accept 想成伸手把东西接过来：先是实际收下，再扩大为同意提议、认可说法，最后还可以表示接纳某人或接受不如意的现实。

📝 学习建议

先掌握“接受、同意、承认”这条主线，再学习“忍受现实”和商业法律中的固定用法。
不要把 accept 只理解成“同意”；它也常表示实际收下、接纳加入，或承认某个事实。

📖 中文释义

adj

rare 已被接受的

📖 表示某事物已经被接受或认可，是较早期、现已过时的形容词用法。

Early Modern obsolete

more accept comparative most accept superlative

noun

rare 被接受的项目

📖 指经过系统、程序或标准判定而被接受的对象，与被拒绝的对象相对。

💡 常见于“接受项与拒绝项”这类技术对比中，通常作可数名词使用。不要在普通对话中用它表示一般的“接受”；那时通常需要其他名词表达。

accepts plural

verb

core 接受并认可

📖 把某物接过来并表示愿意接受，常带有赞同、认可或不拒绝的意味。

💡 常用“accept + 礼物、帮助、邀请、道歉”等结构。它比单纯的 receive 更强调愿意接受或表示认可；表示接受某事时直接接宾语，不要说成 accept to it。

transitive

She accepted the gift with a smile.

她微笑着接受了礼物。

I gladly accept your help.

我很乐意接受你的帮助。
common 接纳加入

📖 同意让某人进入一个地方、组织或群体，重点是正式接纳其成员资格。

💡 常用“accept + 人 + as + 身份”或“accept + 人 + into + 组织”。不要把它和 invite 混同：invite 只是邀请，accept 表示正式接纳。

transitive

The university accepted her as a student.

这所大学接纳她成为学生。
core 承认属实

📖 把某个说法、观点或事实看作合理、真实或可以相信，就像在心里把它接纳下来。

💡 常用“accept + 观点或事实”以及“accept that + 从句”。它表示认可或承认，不一定表示喜欢，也不一定表示证据已经绝对充分。

transitive

I accept that mistakes happen.

我承认错误是会发生的。

She accepts the explanation as true.

她认可这个解释是真的。
common 认为够好

📖 认为某个方案、标准或结果已经足够好，可以使用或通过，而不一定是最理想的。

💡 常用“accept + 结果、标准或方案”。这里强调达到可接受的最低要求，不等于认为它完美；在正式评审和工作场景中尤其常见。

transitive

The editor accepted the revised article.

编辑接受了修改后的文章。
core 同意提议

📖 接下对方提出的条件、建议、请求或解释，表示同意照此办理。

💡 常用“accept + 提议、条件、邀请、道歉”等名词。accept an offer 表示接受报价或工作机会，而 accept an invitation 表示接受邀请；后面通常不再加 to。

transitive

He accepted the job offer immediately.

他立即接受了这份工作邀请。

They accepted our proposal.

他们接受了我们的提议。
common 接受不如意的处境

📖 面对惩罚、损失或不理想的结果时不再拒绝，愿意承担它。

💡 常用“accept + 惩罚、后果、责任或失败”。这个用法强调心理上的承受和承担，不只是被动地遭遇某事。

transitive

He accepted the consequences of his decision.

他接受了自己决定带来的后果。
common 坦然承认现实

📖 不再徒劳反抗或否认某个已经存在的事实，转而承认它并面对现实。

💡 常用“accept the fact that + 从句”或“accept that + 从句”。它常表示理性地面对现实，不等于赞成这件事，也不等于认为这件事公平。

transitive

We must accept that the plan has failed.

我们必须承认这个计划已经失败了。
rare 同意付款

📖 在商业或法律语境中，正式同意支付某笔款项或承担付款义务。

💡 通常与账单、汇票、付款义务等商业法律对象连用。日常说“愿意付钱”时，pay 或 agree to pay 往往更自然。

transitive
common 正式接收

📖 由机构、委员会或负责人正式收下并认可某份报告、申请或文件。

💡 常用“accept + 报告、申请、文件”等结构，语气比 receive 更正式。它表示正式接收或批准进入处理流程，不一定表示内容已经完全正确。

transitive

The committee accepted the final report.

委员会正式接收了最终报告。
common 愿意收下

📖 不拒绝别人给来的东西、帮助或条件，强调自愿收下这一动作。

💡 常用“accept + 东西”或“accept + offer/help”。与 s1 相比，这里更突出愿意接收本身；在许多普通句子中两种意思会重合。

intransitive

Will you accept a ride home?

你愿意接受搭车送你回家吗？
rare 接受提供的服务

📖 在菲律宾英语中，指某家机构愿意接收某项维修或其他服务业务。

💡 这是地区用法，常见于“accept repairs”等服务场景。国际英语中通常说 offer repairs、take in repairs 或 provide the service。
