[faɪnd]
  • 释义
  • v.

    (意外或偶然地)发现;碰到;找到;找回;(经寻找、研究或思考)发现;发觉;查明;找出;求得

  • n.

  • 词义辨析
  • find, search
  • 两者都可作“找,寻”解。它们的区别在于:find指找到某人或某物; 而search指为找到某人〔物〕而搜查某地点或某人之身,但是search之后,结果不一定是find sb/sth。
  • find, discover, find out, invent, look for
  • 这组词(组)都有“发明”“发现”的意思。discover指发现或偶然发现原来就存在但一直未被认识的东西; look for作“寻找”解时,指寻找的动作和过程; find指寻找的结果,即“找到”,是非延续性动词,不如discover正式; find out指经过观察、调查把某事、某物查出来,搞清楚,弄明白,多用于复杂而不易直接查出的情况; invent指发明原来不存在的东西,有时也可指虚构、捏造。例如:
    Whilhelm Roentgen discovered X rays.威尔海尔姆·伦琴发现了X射线。
    He was amazed to find her there.发现她在那里,他很吃惊。
    Let's try and find out what's at the back of this problems.咱们想法弄清问题的背景是怎样的。
    Whatt invented the steam engine.瓦特发明了蒸汽机。
    She ran across some old letters when she was looking for something else.她找别的东西时,偶然翻出几封过去的信。

  • discover，find，detect，ascertain
  • 这些动词均有“发现”之意。
