Attended
会议、课程、活动等用 attended the conference;医疗与服务业中 attend to a wound 指处理伤口、照料病人。过去式规则变化 attend → attended。
- “Over two hundred people attended the webinar.” (两百多人参加了网络研讨会。)
- “She attended Harvard before joining the startup.” (加入这家初创公司前她就读哈佛。)
- “A nurse attended to his injury right away.” (护士立刻处理了他的伤。)
来自古法语 atendre,拉丁语 attendere(向……伸展注意力),ad-(向)+ tendere(伸展),与 attention、tend 同源。
动词 attend 加 -ed 构成过去式;名词 attendance(出席率),形容词 attendant(服务员、伴随的)。
简历常用 “attended university”(就读大学,未必毕业);学校记录 attendance rate。正式邀请回复 RSVP 后实际 attended 与否会被统计。
- 固定搭配: “attended by” (由……陪同), “well-attended event” (出席人数多的活动), “attend to” (处理/照料)
- 动词原形: attend;名词: attendance
attention 是注意力,attended 是“已经把注意力投过去(到场/照料)了”。
“He attended every practice, even when he was not in the starting lineup.” (即使不在首发名单,他也参加了每一次训练。)
