adhere
★★
🇺🇸 /ʌdhˈɪɹ/
🇬🇧 /ædˈhɪə/
adhere 是“粘住、附着”的正式动词,也可引申为忠于某种信念或遵循某种标准;在法律语境中还有专门用法。
💡 记忆钩子
把 adhere 想成“牢牢粘住”:物体先粘在表面上,人的立场也可以粘在信念或原则上,于是表示忠于、坚持;如果两个事物粘合得协调,就引申为符合、一致。
📝 学习建议
- 学习时按“物理粘住 → 忠于原则 → 符合标准”的顺序记忆,先掌握核心意象,再理解抽象用法。
- 不要把 adhere 只理解成普通的“同意”;它更常表示持续地依附、坚持或遵循。
📖 中文释义
verb
-
core 粘住;附着📖 指某物牢牢粘在另一物体上,像蜡粘在手指上一样,强调已经形成附着而不是短暂接触。💡 常用句型是“某物 adhere to 某个表面”,主语通常是胶、灰尘、蜡等物质。这个用法偏正式,不能把它直接当作及物动词说成“adhere 某物”;表达“把某物粘上去”时,通常要换用其他动词。intransitiveDust quickly adhered to the wet paint.灰尘很快粘在了湿油漆上。
-
core 忠于;坚持📖 把“粘住”引申到思想和立场上,表示一个人坚定地依附于信念、原则、团体或主张,不轻易改变。💡 常用句型是“adhere to + 原则、信念、计划或协议”。它强调持续遵守或忠于某项立场,语气通常比普通的“同意”更坚定、更正式;不要用它表示一次性的赞成。figuratively intransitiveShe adhered to her principles even under pressure.即使面临压力,她仍坚持自己的原则。The organization adheres to a strict code of conduct.这个组织严格遵守行为准则。
-
common 符合;一致📖 这里不是说某人主动坚持某个信念,而是说观点、做法或事物彼此“粘合”得上,前后一致或符合某种模式、标准。💡 常用句型是“某事 adhere to + 模式、标准或要求”,也可用于说明不同部分彼此一致。这个义项较正式,常见于评论、学术或说明性文字;不要把它误解为“赞同某人”。figuratively intransitiveThe design adheres to the original style.这个设计符合原有的风格。
-
rare 确认判决📖 在苏格兰法律术语中,指确认或维持已有的判决;这是从“依附于既有决定”发展出的专门义项。💡 通常出现在苏格兰法律文件中,常与判决或法院决定连用。普通英语交流中几乎不会使用这一义项,阅读法律材料时应根据上下文理解为确认判决,而不是一般的“坚持”。intransitive
