Perceivable

“Perceivable”是形容词,指能够被感官察觉或通过意识认识的,强调某事物在客观上可被感知,与”perceptible”近义。

  1. “There was a perceivable change in her tone of voice.” (她的语气出现了可察觉的变化。)
  2. “The difference in quality is barely perceivable to the untrained eye.” (未经训练的眼睛几乎察觉不出质量差异。)
  3. “A perceivable tension filled the room before the announcement.” (宣布之前,房间里弥漫着可感知到的紧张气氛。)

词根”perceiv-”来自拉丁语”percipere”(感知、领会),由”per-”(完全)与”capere”(抓住)组成。

“Perceivable”由”perceive”加后缀”-able”构成,“-able”表示”能够被……的”。

在哲学和认知科学中,“perceivable”与”perceptible”常讨论感官经验的边界;日常用语中则指细微但可察觉的变化或差异。

  • 固定搭配: “barely perceivable” (几乎察觉不到的), “clearly perceivable” (清晰可感的)

“perceive”(感知)+ “-able”(能够)= 能够被感知到的,即 perceivable。

“The perceivable shift in public opinion surprised the pollsters. What had seemed stable was quietly changing.” (公众舆论可察觉的转变让民调专家吃惊。看似稳固的局面其实在悄然变化。)
