comprehend
★
🇺🇸 /kˌɑmpɹihˈɛnd/
🇬🇧 /kɒmpɹɪˈhɛnd/
动词：充分理解、透彻领会；在古旧用法中也可表示包含、容纳。
💡 记忆钩子
把一件事完整地“抓”在脑中：先是把复杂内容彻底理解，古旧用法则把各种东西完整地收进一个范围里，也就是“包含”。
📝 学习建议
- 先掌握“充分理解、领会”这一核心义；它不表示“同意”或“赞成”，只是表示已经理解了内容。
- 不要只把它当作普通的“知道”；它强调对复杂或难懂内容的完整把握。
📖 中文释义
verb
-
core 充分理解📖 指把一件复杂、难懂的事情从整体上理解透彻，而不只是听说过或知道其中一部分。它常带有“实在难以想明白”的语气。💡 常用“cannot hardly comprehend...”或“comprehend how/why...”这类结构，表示难以理解某件事或某种情况。这个词通常比日常口语中的“理解”正式，适合谈抽象概念、复杂情况或令人震惊的事实。后面直接接名词或从句；不要说成“comprehend about something”。transitiveI still can't comprehend how the machine works.我还是无法理解这台机器是怎么运作的。It is difficult to comprehend the scale of the disaster.这场灾难的规模很难让人完全理解。
-
rare 包含；容纳📖 古旧用法，指一个范围或事物把其他内容完整地包括在内；可以看作把东西“收进”一个整体中。💡 通常只在古旧文学或历史文本中见到“某物包含某物”的用法。现代英语中表达这个意思一般不用它，而用更常见的词。阅读到这种用法时，要根据上下文把它理解为“包含”，不要误读成“理解”。archaic
