impression
★★★
🇺🇸 /ˌɪmpɹˈɛʃʌn/
impression 主要表示某物留下的“印记”或某人心中形成的“印象”,也可指模仿表演、广告展示次数等专门意义。
💡 记忆钩子
把 impression 想成“压过之后留下的痕迹”:物体压在枕头上会留下凹痕,人的言行也会在别人心里留下印象,于是有了“给人留下好印象”和“我感觉……”这类用法;再从“留下相似的痕迹”引申出模仿某人的表演。
📝 学习建议
- 先掌握“留下印象”和“对……的印象”这两个核心用法,再学习“我有一种印象……”表示不太确定的感觉。
- 不要把 impression 只理解为“印刷品”或“第一印象”;具体含义要根据上下文判断,也要注意它可以表示心里的总体感觉,而不只是外表。
📖 中文释义
noun
-
core 压出的凹痕;印记📖 某物受到压力后,在另一个物体表面留下的凹痕或形状痕迹,就是 impression;这是“留下印记”这一核心概念最直接的用法。💡 常用“在……上留下印记”或“在……上压出凹痕”的结构,既可指看得见的痕迹,也可泛指压出的形状。它既能作可数名词,也能作不可数名词,具体取决于是在说一个印记还是这种痕迹本身。countable uncountableThe keys left a clear impression in the soft clay.钥匙在柔软的黏土上留下了清晰的印记。
-
core 总体印象;影响📖 某人的言行或某件事在别人心中留下的总体感觉或评价,称为 impression;它就像心理上留下的痕迹。💡 常用“给某人留下好印象”“留下深刻印象”以及“对某人或某事的印象”等搭配。好坏通常由形容词说明,不能直接把 impression 当作“意见”或“看法”的完全替代词。countable uncountableHer calm answer made a strong impression on the interview panel.她镇定的回答给面试小组留下了深刻印象。Try to make a good impression on your new colleagues.要努力给新同事留下好印象。
-
common 感觉;模糊的印象📖 当你根据一些迹象形成一个尚不确定的感觉或判断时,可以说有一种 impression;它不像确凿事实那样肯定。💡 常用“有一种印象,觉得……”或“我的印象是……”来引出后面的判断。这个用法语气比直接断言更保留,不能把它理解成已经证实的消息。countable uncountableI had the impression that the meeting had already begun.我感觉会议好像已经开始了。
-
common 模仿表演📖 演员通过模仿另一个人的声音、动作或习惯来表演,这种模仿节目也叫 impression;这里仍有“留下相似痕迹”的意味。💡 常用“模仿某人”或“表演某人的模仿秀”等结构,通常指喜剧、综艺或舞台表演。它指的是一次模仿或一种表演,不是泛指任何相似行为。countable uncountableThe comedian did a funny impression of the mayor.那位喜剧演员滑稽地模仿了市长。
-
common 外在形象;外表📖 impression 有时指事物呈现出来、给人看到的外在样子,强调别人接收到的表面形象,而不一定是真实本质。💡 常用“从外表看”“给人……的形象”等语境来说明这种意义。它与表示总体评价的用法很接近,但此处重点在看起来是什么样,而不是由此形成的好坏判断。countable uncountableThe building gives the impression of being much older than it is.这座建筑给人的感觉比实际年代古老得多。
-
common 广告展示次数📖 在网络广告或内容平台中,一条广告或帖子被展示给用户一次,就算一次 impression;这里可理解为一次被看见、留下痕迹的机会。💡 常用“广告展示次数”“按展示次数计费”等结构,常与点击量、浏览量等指标区分。它表示展示这一事件,不表示用户一定点击、阅读或记住了内容。Internet countable uncountableThe campaign generated two million ad impressions in its first week.这项推广活动第一周产生了两百万次广告展示。
-
rare 底色涂层;底漆层📖 在绘画或涂漆中,先涂上的第一层颜色或底漆也叫 impression;它是后续颜色附着前留下的基础层。💡 通常出现在绘画、油漆等专业语境中,常与“第一层”“底漆”连用。日常谈墙面颜色时一般不用这个词,而用更具体的“底漆”或“涂层”。countable uncountable
-
rare 版画印痕;印刷出来的图📖 用木版、金属版等印在纸上的一幅图或一个印痕,称为 impression;重点是由版面压印留下的成品。💡 这是版画、雕刻和手工印刷语境中的用法,常和版、纸张及印刷过程一起出现。普通语境中不要把它泛泛地译成任何“印刷品”,出版物通常有更具体的说法。countable uncountable
-
rare 直接感知📖 在哲学语境中,impression 指亲身感受到的鲜明知觉,如看见、听见或感到某事,而不是后来回想出来的观念。💡 这种用法主要出现在哲学或学术讨论中,常和“感觉”“知觉”及“观念”作概念区分。日常会话里通常仍表示普通的“印象”,不要主动套用这一专门义。countable uncountable
-
rare 同版印次📖 出版业中,一次用同样的内容、版式和页码印出的整批书或报刊,叫一个 impression;它强调同一批次的印刷。💡 常用在出版、印刷和媒体行业中,和“第一印次”“再印一次”等词语搭配。日常读者谈一本书时通常不会使用这个术语,也不要把它理解成单本书。countable uncountable

plural
verb
-
rare 按压痕配钥匙📖 指把空白钥匙在锁中操作,使锁内结构在钥匙上留下压痕,再根据这些痕迹加工出匹配的钥匙。💡 主要出现在锁匠、钥匙复制和开锁技术说明中,通常以钥匙坯或锁为宾语。不要把它当作名词 impression 的普通动词形式;普通“留下印象”应使用更常见的表达。
