Misapprehension

“Misapprehension” 是名词,由前缀 “mis-”(错误)和 “apprehension”(理解、忧虑)组成。它指一种由于信息不全或解读错误而产生的错误观点。

  1. “I was under the misapprehension that the meeting was on Tuesday, not Monday.” (我误以为会议是在周二,而不是周一。)
  2. “There seems to be a slight misapprehension about our pricing policy.” (关于我们的定价政策,似乎存在一点误解。)
  3. “We need to clear up any misapprehensions before the project begins.” (在项目开始前,我们需要消除任何误解。)
  • “mis-”:表示错误。
  • “apprehend”:源自拉丁语 “apprehendere”(抓住、理解)。
  • 前缀: “mis-”。
  • 词根: “apprehens”(来自 apprehend)。
  • 后缀: “-ion”(名词后缀)。

这是一个比较正式的词汇。在职场或法律文件中,用 “misapprehension” 而不是简单的 “mistake” 或 “wrong idea” 可以使表达显得更客观、专业,减少对当事人的直接指责。

  • 动词:misapprehend (误解)
  • 近义词:misunderstanding, misconception

拆开记忆:mis(错误)+ apprehend(理解)。也就是“错误的理解”。

“For years, Peter lived under the misapprehension that his neighbor was a spy because he saw him receiving packages in the middle of the night. It wasn’t until they finally spoke at a party that Peter learned his neighbor was just an insomniac who loved late-night online shopping.” (多年来,彼得一直误以为他的邻居是个间谍,因为他看到他在半夜接收包裹。直到他们终于在一次聚会上交谈,彼得才得知他的邻居只是个喜欢深夜网购的失眠症患者。)
