initiation
★
🇺🇸 /ˌɪnˌɪʃiˈeɪʃʌn/
initiation 是“开始进入某个过程或团体”的行为,也可指使人正式加入团体的入会仪式;在科学语境中还指反应或过程的起始步骤。
💡 记忆钩子
把 initiation 想成“跨过入口、正式开始”:一个人进入新领域是“开始接触或接受引导”,进入团体时就变成“入会仪式”,在科学中则是让后续反应启动的“起始步骤”。
📝 学习建议
- 先掌握“开始接触某事”和“入会仪式”这两个常用义项,再记科学中的专门义项。
- 不要把 initiation 简单理解成普通的“开始”;它常强调进入某个新领域、过程或团体的正式起点。
📖 中文释义
noun
-
core 开始接触;入门过程📖 指一个人开始进入、了解或接受某个新领域、活动或团体的过程,重点是从门外走进去并正式开始接触。💡 常用模式是 initiation into + 领域、活动或团体,例如 initiation into a new discipline。它既可以表示一次具体的引导过程,也可以表示抽象的入门经历。这里通常不是指简单的“开始做某事”,而是强调进入一个新的体系或阶段。countable uncountableHer initiation into classical music began with weekly lessons.她通过每周上课开始接触古典音乐。The course provides an initiation into basic programming.这门课程帮助人们入门基础编程。
-
common 入会仪式📖 指把某人正式介绍或接纳进一个团体、组织或秘密社团的仪式,也可以指这种正式进入团体的方式。💡 常用 initiation ceremony 表示“入会仪式”,也可说 initiation into + 团体。它比普通的 joining 更正式,常带有仪式性或组织规定的意味。不要把它误解为一般的介绍会;这里的重点是正式成为团体成员。countable uncountableThe new members took part in an initiation ceremony at the lodge.新成员在会所参加了入会仪式。
-
rare 起始步骤📖 在化学和相关科学中,指启动转录、转导或其他连续过程的第一步,仍然保留“让过程开始”的核心概念。💡 这一义项主要出现在科学论文和教材中,通常与 specific process 或 reaction 等技术语境连用。它不是日常英语中“开始”的替代词,也不宜用于普通活动的开头。阅读专业材料时,可根据上下文将其理解为某个机制的启动阶段。countable uncountable
