Approached
“Approached” 可表示空间上的靠近,如 approached the door;也可表示主动接洽或处理,如 approached the manager、approached the topic carefully。
- “A stranger approached me in the street and asked for directions.” (一个陌生人在街上走近我问路。)
- “The company approached several investors last month.” (这家公司上个月接洽了几位投资人。)

“Approached” 来自 “approach”,源自拉丁语 “appropiare”(靠近),由 “ad-”(向)和 “prope”(近)构成。
“-ed” 表示过去发生;approach 的现在分词为 approaching。
在商务英语中,“approached” 常出现在融资、合作和招聘语境,例如 was approached by a recruiter(被猎头联系)。
- 固定搭配: “approached by” (被……接洽), “approached the subject” (开始谈及话题)
- 原形: approach
- 现在分词: approaching
“approach + ed”:已经完成“靠近/着手”的动作,所以用 approached。
