词根

"Concede"来源于拉丁语“concedere”,其中“con-”表示“完全”,“-cedere”表示“走”或“退让”,整体意思就是完全放弃或让步,这就很好的解释了concede的含义。 由此词根衍生出来的其他单词有:precede(在……之前)、recede(后退)等。

vt. 承认;退让;给予,容许 vi. 让步 [ 第三人称单数 concedes 现在分词 conceding 过去式 conceded 过去分词 conceded ]

强化记忆

可以通过联想法记忆这个单词,比如将 "concede" 与 "recede" (退让)联系起来。在辩论或争论中,如果你 "concede",完成了 "recede" 的动作,并且可能还在语境中表示同意对方的意见。"Concede"这个单词首次出现在15世纪,来源于拉丁语“concedere”。在西方文化中,它常用在政治和法律语境中,例如一个政治家在选举中落败后会"concede defeat"。
