Conceive

英  [k?n'si?v]  美  [k?n'siv]

vt. 懷孕,；構(gòu)思；以為,；持有

vi. 懷孕,；設(shè)想；考慮

這個(gè)單詞雖然意義明確,，但它有若干個(gè)非常常用的變形詞,，意義也非常接近，要使用好,，唯有大量的閱讀才能夠有可靠的分辨,。例如：

conception 受孕，構(gòu)想
Her conception on the students community is recognized by authority.

conceptive 概念上的
He proposed a conceptive idea about how to achieve the goal.

concept 概念
Students had a lot of debates on the concept of liberalism.

除了本詞根的變換以外,，conceive還容易和perceive混淆,。perceive/perception的意思對外在事物的感覺和認(rèn)知，而不是像conceive/conception一樣take in as own idea,。因?yàn)閏on-的詞綴就帶有to take, to grasp的掌握含義,。

我們回到Conceive本身。當(dāng)Conceive作為懷孕的動(dòng)詞理解時(shí),，意義很明確,，但要注意語態(tài)的區(qū)別。例如：

She conceived her baby when she was 49
She was conceived when her mother was 49

除了懷孕的動(dòng)詞,，它更多用在form or devise an idea的意思上,。比如：

The moon landing project was first conceived many decades ago.
登月項(xiàng)目是好幾十年前就構(gòu)想的。

當(dāng)conceive作為構(gòu)想的意思時(shí),，它也帶有想法孕育的意味,。所以，經(jīng)常有...ill conceived這樣的詞組。  

An ill-conceived plan will never be successful, even if it got passed through.
一個(gè)有問題的計(jì)劃,，即使得到通過也不會(huì)成功,。

莊子說：井蛙不可以語于海者，拘于虛也,。它的英文被譯作：

A frog in a well cannot conceive of the ocean.
