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。
- “There was a perceivable change in her tone of voice.” (她的语气出现了可察觉的变化。)
- “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。)
- “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。)
