Addressed
“Addressed” 是多义过去分词:在信封上写地址(addressed envelope);正式演讲(addressed the audience);处理问题(addressed the issue)。需根据搭配判断具体含义。
- “The manager addressed the safety concerns in an email.” (经理在邮件里回应了安全问题。)
- “She addressed the crowd for twenty minutes.” (她对人群演讲了二十分钟。)
- “Make sure the package is correctly addressed.” (确保包裹上的地址写得正确。)
来自古法语 adresser(引导向),拉丁语 ad-(向)+ directus(拉直)。
“addressed” = “address” + “-ed”。
商务英语 issue addressed 表示“问题已处理”;学术会议 addressed the topic 指“阐述了主题”。
- 固定搭配: “addressed to” (寄给/致), “addressed the problem” (处理问题), “publicly addressed” (公开说明)。
address 本义“把话或信导向正确对象”;-ed 表示“已经对准并完成”。
“The CEO addressed the staff, then addressed several questions about the merger.” (CEO 向员工发表讲话,随后回答了若干关于并购的问题。)
