Quoted

“Quoted” 来自 quote(引用、报价)。可指转述他人原话(She was quoted in the press),商业报价(quoted us a price),或金融 quoted price(挂牌价)。

  1. “The minister was quoted as saying reforms would continue.” (媒体报道引述部长称改革将继续。)
  2. “Three firms quoted different prices for the same repair.” (三家公司对同一项维修报了不同价。)
  3. “The stock was quoted at fifty dollars at the close.” (该股收盘报价五十美元。)

来自中世纪拉丁语 quotare(按数量/mark 划分),与 quota(配额)同源,引申为“标明数字/引述文字”。

quote + -ed;名词 quotationquote(引文/报价单)同源。

学术写作 quoted source 须注明出处;新闻 widely quoted 指被广泛引用;采购邮件 get quoted 指拿到报价。

  • 固定搭配: “quoted price” (报价), “quoted in the media” (被媒体引用), “directly quoted” (直接引用)

quote(引述)+ -ed:话已经被“引”出来了 → quoted

“The engineer quoted a two-week timeline, and the client asked for everything in writing.” (工程师报价两周工期,客户要求全部写入书面。)
