perceive是感官動詞,基本意思是“覺察”“理解”“看到”,指通過視覺等各種感官,也指依靠敏銳的觀察力很清晰地“感受”外界事物,理解或獲得關于該事物的知識。引申表示“心里明白”。

perceive可接名詞、代詞、動詞不定式、動名詞作賓語,也可接that從句或疑問詞引導的從句。

perceive所接的that從句表示的是思想上的反映而非生理上的反應,常譯為“意識到…”“明白…”。

perceive還可接以動詞不定式或動名詞充當補足語的復合賓語。動詞不定式通常不帶to,但在被動結構中to不可省略。

perceive有時還可接“to be+ n./adj. ”充當補足語的復合賓語。

perceive后可接so或not替代前面提到的肯定式或否定式的賓語。

雖然從廣義講來, perceive可指通過任何感官“感受”外界事物,但在實際應用中,一般只指視覺。例如: 他聽見噪音。誤:He perceived a noise.正:He heard a noise. 醫(yī)生試摸他的脈搏。誤:The doctor perceived his pulse.正:The doctor felt his pulse.
