Admitted

承认事实或错误(admitted the mistake)、被大学录取(admitted to Yale)、病人入院(admitted to hospital)。语气可中性也可带悔意。

  1. “He finally admitted that he had been wrong.” (他终于承认自己错了。)
  2. “She was admitted to the law school last spring.” (她去年春天被法学院录取。)
  3. “The patient was admitted overnight for observation.” (病人连夜入院观察。)

拉丁语 admittere(让进入),ad- + mittere(发送),与 permit、submit 中的 mit 同源。

ad-(向)+ mit(送)+ -ed;名词 admission。

招生季 newly admitted students 上新闻;法庭里 admitted evidence 指“被采纳的证据”。口语 I admit 软化观点。

  • 固定搭配: “admitted fault” (认错), “admitted to hospital” (入院), “admitted student” (录取新生)
  • 名词: admission

mit 像 mission(派出)——让人“被送进来”是录取,把真相“送出来”是承认。

“After weeks of denial, she admitted the error and fixed the report the same day.” (否认数周后,她承认了错误,并在当天修正了报告。)
