词义辨析

v. (动词)

foresee, anticipate, foreknow

• 这组词都有“预知”的意思,其区别是：
• anticipate指依据事先所曾经历过的体验而预知; foreknow指通过自然的力量或超自然的力量预知; foresee则不表明怎样预知,可通过灵感或想象,也可通过推理。试体会下面三句的意思:
• We anticipated that they would be late.
• 我们预料他们会迟到。
• Who would foreknow the miseries of man?
• 谁能预知人类的苦难?
• Things turned out to be exactly as he had foreseen.
• 事情已如他所预见的那样。
