Imagining

“Imagining” 指在内心构建并未发生或尚未存在的场景、人物或结果,如 imagining life abroad(想象国外生活)。比 think 更强调形象化与情感投入,常见于鼓励创意与同理心表达。

  1. “She lay awake imagining what the new apartment would look like.” (她躺着睡不着,想象新公寓会是什么样子。)
  2. “Try imagining yourself speaking confidently in front of the crowd.” (试着想象自己在人群前自信发言。)

“imagin-”(心像)+ “-ing” 表示正在进行的想象活动;名词 imagination 为“想象力”。

教育与心理学强调 imagining others’ perspectives 以培养共情;广告语 Can’t imagine life without… 强化情感联结;文学评论常谈 vividly imagining scenes。
