Cleared

“Cleared” 是 “clear” 的过去式和过去分词,含义随语境变化:可表示清理、移除障碍,如 cleared the table;也可表示获得批准,如 cleared by security;还可表示天气放晴或视线变清楚。

  1. “The staff cleared the room before the meeting started.” (会议开始前,工作人员把房间清空了。)
  2. “The project was cleared by the committee last week.” (这个项目上周获得了委员会批准。)
  3. “By noon, the sky had cleared and the sun came out.” (到中午,天空放晴了,太阳也出来了。)

“Cleared” 来自古法语 “cler”,经拉丁语 “clarus” 进入英语,原义与“明亮、清楚”相关,后扩展出“清除、使无障碍”等用法。

“-ed” 是规则动词的过去式和过去分词后缀;词干 “clear” 本身没有独立前缀。

在安检、海关、金融和行政语境中,“cleared” 很常用,例如 customs cleared(海关放行)、transaction cleared(交易已结算),表示“已通过审核、没有障碍”。

  • 固定搭配: “cleared for takeoff” (获准起飞), “cleared of charges” (洗清指控), “all clear” (一切安全/警报解除)
  • 原形: clear
  • 现在分词: clearing

“clear” 本义是“清楚”,事情被 cleared 就是“被弄清楚了/被清掉了”,障碍没了,自然就通过了。

“The airport staff cleared the runway, and minutes later the plane was cleared for takeoff.” (机场工作人员清理了跑道,几分钟后飞机获准起飞。)
