perceive

perceive 是“察觉到、感知到”，也可表示“以某种方式理解或看待”。

💡 记忆钩子

把 perceive 想成“伸手接住信息”：先通过眼睛、耳朵等感官抓住某个事实，再进一步在心里把它理解成某种样子，因此既有“察觉到”，也有“被看作、被理解为”的意思。

📝 学习建议

先掌握“察觉到、意识到”这一核心义，再学习“把某人或某事看作……”的用法。
不要把 perceive 只理解成“看见”；它常常还包含理解、判断或形成印象的意思。

📖 中文释义

verb

core 察觉；感知到

📖 指通过眼睛、耳朵等感官，或通过心里的理解，意识到某个事实、变化或情况。重点不是单纯看到表面，而是把信息“接住”并意识到它。

💡 常用结构是 perceive + 名词，或 perceive + that 从句；宾语通常是现象、变化、危险等被察觉的内容。它偏正式，日常对话中很多时候可以换成 notice 或 realize，但 perceive 更强调感知和认识的过程。不要把它和 receive 混淆，后者主要是“收到、接收”。

transitive

She quickly perceived that something was wrong.

她很快察觉到出了问题。

The animal can perceive tiny changes in temperature.

这种动物能够感知到温度的细微变化。
core 认为；看作

📖 指人在心里把某人或某事理解、评价成某种样子，也就是对它形成特定印象。这里的信息已经不只是被感知，还被解释成“是怎样的”。

💡 最常见结构是 perceive + 名词 + as + 名词/形容词，表示“把……看作……”；被动式 be perceived as... 也很常用，表示“被认为是……”。不要漏掉 as，也不要把 perceive 当成表示说话人绝对认定事实的词，它常描述一种看法或社会印象。

The company is perceived as a leader in clean energy.

这家公司被认为是清洁能源领域的领先者。
