dertermine和decide有什么区别

1个回答

  • decide和determine都作“决定”解,但是determine to do比decide to do的语气更强,具有“决心做某事”的含义.例如:

    He determined to learn Greek. 他决定学希腊语.

    He determined to get there first. 他决定先到那里去.

    be determined to do也能表示大致相同的意义(语气比decide强,而且表示心理状态).例如:

    I was determined not to follow their advice. 我决定不听他们的劝告.

    We are determined to defend our motherland at all costs. 我们决心不惜任何牺牲保卫祖国.

    此外,determine还有“确定;测定;规定”等含义.这是decide所没有的.例如:

    determine the cause of the accident 确定事故的原因

    Content determines form. 内容决定形式.
