v. (动词)

    • settle, decide, determine, fix, make up one's mind, resolve
  • 这组词(组)都有“决定”的意思。其区别在于:
  • 1.decide是普通用词,指经过讨论、思考消除分歧而对是非、优劣、取舍等问题“作出决定”; resolve强调信念的目的性; 而settle则强调最后的“决定”。例如:
  • From that moment she resolved to trace the unknown element.从那时起,她决心找出这种未知的元素。
  • He resolved that nothing should hold back.他决心不为任何阻碍所挫。
  • The heavy rain might settle the changeable weather.这场大雨也许能使变幻不定的天气稳定下来。
