communicate

★★★
🇺🇸 /kʌmjˈunʌkˌeɪt/
adj 编号: C02595 牛津3000 BNC #3006 COCA #2672
communicate 的核心意思是“把信息传给别人”,也可指分享或交流;另有一个已废弃的形容词用法。
💡 记忆钩子
把东西放到“共同”的空间里:信息放进去就是传达,双方共同拥有就是分享;在宗教语境中,则可指加入圣餐或使某人参加圣餐。
📝 学习建议
  • 现代英语中最重要的是“传达信息、沟通”这一动词义,不要把 communicate 只理解成“交流”;它也常用于单向传递信息。
  • 形容词义以及“分享、领圣餐”这些动词义都很古旧或专门,阅读历史文本时再识记即可。
📖 中文释义
adj
  • rare 共有的;结合的
    📖 这是一个已废弃的形容词义,表示某种性质或状态与另一事物共同存在,或已经结合在一起。
    💡 它主要出现在历史文献或古英语语境中,现代英语中几乎不使用。学习时只需把它识别为 communicate 的古旧形容词义,不要套用现代动词的常见句型。

verb
  • core 传达;传递
    📖 把信息、想法或事实传给别人,使对方知道或理解。这个意思是现代英语中最核心、最常用的用法。
    💡 常用结构是“communicate 信息 to 某人”,也可说“communicate with 某人”表示与某人沟通。它比 talk 更正式,常用于工作、书面语和重要信息;不要误以为它只表示双向交流,也不要漏掉 to。
    transitive
    Please communicate the results to everyone on the team.
    请把结果传达给团队里的每个人。
    The doctor communicated the risks clearly.
    医生清楚地说明了风险。
  • rare 分享
    📖 这是“把某物置于共同范围内”的古旧用法,表示人与其他存在分享某种能力、性质或经验。
    💡 该用法已废弃,主要在历史或文学文本中出现。现代英语中不要用 communicate 表示普通的“分享东西”,通常应使用 share。
    obsolete transitive
  • rare 领圣餐;参加圣餐
    📖 在基督教语境的古旧用法中,表示参加圣餐仪式,也就是与其他信徒共同领受圣餐。
    💡 它是不及物的专门宗教用法,通常出现在古老或历史性的宗教文本中。现代英语一般使用更明确的表达来说明参加圣餐,不要把它当作普通的“交流”来理解。
    intransitive
  • rare 使参加圣餐
    📖 在基督教语境的古旧用法中,表示教会允许或安排某人参加圣餐仪式。
    💡 这是及物的宗教历史用法,宾语通常是参加仪式的人。现代英语中几乎不这样使用,阅读时可根据上下文理解为“准许某人领圣餐”。

🌳 词源
源自拉丁语中表示“共同、分享、使成为共同”的词根;现代动词义由“把某物置于共同范围内”发展而来。
Adapted borrowing of Latin commūnicāt- (past participial stem of commūnicō (“share, impart; make common”)) + -ate (verb-forming suffix), from commūnis (“common”) + -icō. Compare French communiquer and its older (and now obsolete) English cognate from Middle French, communique.
