perceive是感官动词,基本意思是“觉察”“理解”“看到”,指通过视觉等各种感官,也指依靠敏锐的观察力很清晰地“感受”外界事物,理解或获得关于该事物的知识。引申表示“心里明白”。

perceive可接名词、代词、动词不定式、动名词作宾语,也可接that从句或疑问词引导的从句。

perceive所接的that从句表示的是思想上的反映而非生理上的反应,常译为“意识到…”“明白…”。

perceive还可接以动词不定式或动名词充当补足语的复合宾语。动词不定式通常不带to,但在被动结构中to不可省略。

perceive有时还可接“to be+ n./adj. ”充当补足语的复合宾语。

perceive后可接so或not替代前面提到的肯定式或否定式的宾语。

虽然从广义讲来, perceive可指通过任何感官“感受”外界事物,但在实际应用中,一般只指视觉。例如: 他听见噪音。误:He perceived a noise.正:He heard a noise. 医生试摸他的脉搏。误:The doctor perceived his pulse.正:The doctor felt his pulse.
