recognize · 语义深度解析

核心

再次辨认出来——或者正式承认某事的存在和价值

recognize（英式 recognise）来自拉丁语 recognoscere（重新了解）= re（再次）+ cognoscere（了解）→ 再次认出。两个核心义项：① 辨认出，认出（recognize a face 认出一张脸）；② 承认，认可（recognize an achievement 承认一项成就；recognize a country 承认一个国家）。义项二是高考和雅思写作的重点。

释义

1

v.认出，辨认（通过记忆或感知识别）

She immediately recognized her old classmate despite not having seen him for over twenty years.

尽管二十多年未曾相见，她还是立刻认出了她的老同学。

2

v.承认，认可（正式接受某事的真实性或价值）

The international community has widely recognized the need for urgent action on climate change.

国际社会已广泛承认在气候变化问题上采取紧急行动的必要性。

语感

recognize = 再次认识——认出是「哦，是你！」，承认是「好，这是真的」

认出辨认承认认可

义项二（承认，认可）的核心搭配：be recognized as（被认可为……）是书面写作高频被动结构：She is recognized as one of the most influential scientists of her generation.。recognize that + 从句（承认……）：We must recognize that mistakes were made.（我们必须承认犯了错误。）。名词 recognition（认可，承认）：receive recognition for（因……获得认可）。

陷阱

⚠️be recognized as：被认可为（书面论证人物地位或事实承认）

The treaty is now recognized as a turning point in international relations.

✗

recognized as = 被认出是（义项一）

✓

be recognized as（义项二）= 被普遍认可/承认为……，不是字面上的「被辨认出来」；语境是正式承认某事的地位或性质

这项条约现在被认可为国际关系的转折点。（be recognized as = 被承认为，义项二）

近义辨析

recognize vs acknowledge

recognize 正式承认某事的存在、价值或真实性（义项二） acknowledge 承认，确认（更强调「坦诚接受不便的事实」）

The Nobel Committee recognized her decades of pioneering research with the prize.

诺贝尔委员会以该奖项认可了她数十年的开创性研究。

The company finally acknowledged that its product had caused harm to consumers.

该公司终于承认其产品对消费者造成了伤害。
