Known

“Known” 是 “know” 的过去分词,常用作形容词。它描述那些已经被发现、被确认或在公众中具有名望的事物。

  1. “Smoking is a known cause of several types of cancer.” (吸烟是几种癌症的已知病因。)
  2. “He is a well-known actor who has appeared in many famous movies.” (他是一位出演过许多著名电影的知名演员。)
  3. “The exact location of the treasure is not known to anyone.” (宝藏的确切位置无人知晓。)

源自 “know”(知道)。

“Known” 是动词的分词形式。

在科学研究中,区分 “known facts”(已知事实)和 “hypotheses”(假设)至关重要。此外,“The Great Unknown”(伟大的未知)常被用来象征死亡、宇宙或未来。

  • 相关词汇: know (动词), unknown (未知的), well-known (众所周知的)
  • 常见搭配: “as is well known” (众所周知), “a known quantity” (已知数/可靠的人或物)

联想 “know” 的过去分词。既然已经 know 过了,那么它就是 known 的了。

“The explorer dedicated his life to filling in the blank spots on the map. He traveled through dense jungles and across icy mountains, turning the ‘unknown’ into the ‘known’. But even after years of discovery, he always said that the more we know, the more we realize how much remains unknown.” (这位探险家毕生致力于填补地图上的空白点。他穿过茂密的丛林,越过冰封的高山,将“未知”变为“已知”。但即使经过多年的探索,他总是说,我们知道得越多,就越意识到还有多少未知的事物。)
