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。

  1. “The manager addressed the safety concerns in an email.” (经理在邮件里回应了安全问题。)
  2. “She addressed the crowd for twenty minutes.” (她对人群演讲了二十分钟。)
  3. “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。)
