inspect

常用用法

這四個(gè)詞均有“檢查”“審查”的含義。它們之間的區(qū)別是:examine為最普通的用語,可指任何方式地、粗略或仔細(xì)地檢查; inspect和scrutinize都有仔細(xì)檢查的含義,前者強(qiáng)調(diào)通過檢查找出缺點(diǎn)或漏洞,后者強(qiáng)調(diào)在檢查時(shí)注意細(xì)節(jié)的審視。另外examine, inspect, scrutinize既可用于人,又可用于物,而investigate只能用于表示對(duì)情況、事態(tài)等的調(diào)查或檢查。試體會(huì)下例中這四個(gè)詞的運(yùn)用:The detective investigating the murder case examined the body, inspected the scene of the crime, and scrutinized the weapon for clues.正在調(diào)查這一謀殺案的偵探檢查了尸體,察看了犯罪現(xiàn)場(chǎng),并仔細(xì)檢查了兇器以尋找線索。
