“imagine”的詳細解釋
“imagine”是英語中常見的動詞,源于拉丁語“imaginari”(意為“描繪或構想”),現代英語中主要有以下含義和用法:
想象(具體或抽象事物)
指在腦海中形成不存在的畫面或情景,常用于主動創造思維活動。例如:“Can you imagine living on Mars?”(你能想象在火星上生活嗎?) 這一用法在牛津詞典中被定義為“form a mental image of something not present to the senses”(對非感官感知的事物形成心理圖像)。
推測或假設(基于有限信息)
用于表達對未發生或不确定事件的合理猜測。例如:“I imagine she’ll arrive late due to the traffic.”(我猜她會因堵車遲到。)劍橋詞典指出,此類用法強調“基于已知事實的邏輯推斷”。
文學與哲學中的引申義
在藝術和哲學領域,“imagine”可指代對理想世界的構建,或對抽象概念(如自由、平等)的思辨。例如詩人威廉·布萊克的作品中,“imagine”常被用來探讨人類精神的超越性。
