v.(动词)

1. absorb的基本意思是“吸收”,可指吸收液体、气体、光、热、能等,也指吸收抽象的知识、文化、经验、教训、思想、方法等,含有“以此丰富了吸收者”之意,并暗示“吸收”的渐进性和彻底性。absorb作“吞并; 并入”解时指把一个较小的国家、团体或组织变成一个较大的国家、团体或组织的一部分,被吞并者失去了自己原有的个性或特征。
2. absorb作“吸收”解时主语可以是人,也可以是物,宾语则是无生命的事或物;作“吞并”解时主语和宾语都是国家、团体或组织;作“使全神贯注”解时主语是人、事或物,宾语是人或人的精力、兴趣等;作“减轻…的作用”解时主要用于打击、碰撞等;作“耗费,耗去”解时主要用于大量的金钱、时间等;作“承受; 承担,对付 ”解时主要用于变化、结果、费用等。
3. absorb作“吸收”“吞并”“使全神贯注”解时常用于被动结构。be absorbed作“聚精会神地干某事”解时应接“in+动名词”,不能接动词不定式。

v.(动词)

absorb, assimilate, digest

这三个词意义相近,都可指“吸收”,也都强调“吸收的彻底性”。其区别是：

1.食物首先是digest(消化),然后在血液里absorb(吸收),最后在血液所流过的每一个细胞里一点点地assimilate(转化)为吸收体的物质。

2.在语气上, assimilate＞digest＞absorb。

absorb, suck

这组词都有“吸收”的意思。其区别是：

1.absorb主要是“吸收”水、光或热等; suck则是“吸”或“饮”汁、水或饮料,还可表示“吸”烟。

2.suck还可表示被卷入某项事物之中; absorb无此义。

absorb，suck，digest，incorporate

这些动词均有“吸收”之意。

absorb普通用词，词义广泛，既可指吸收光、热、液体等具体东西，又可指吸收知识等抽象概念的东西。

suck作“吸收”解时，可与absorb换用，但还可有“吮吸”之意。

digest侧重在消化道内改变食物的化学结构后被人体吸收。

incorporate指一物或多物与它物相融合，形成一整体。

• ☆ 15世纪进入英语，直接源自法语的absorber；最初源自拉丁语的sbsorbere，意为吞掉，吸光。
