You can use discover, find, or find out to talk about learning that something is the case. He discovered the whole school knew about it... The young child finds that noise attracts attention... We found out that she was wrong. Discover is a slightly more formal word than find, and is often used to talk about scientific research or formal investigations. For example, you can discover a cure for a particular disease. You can also use discover when you find something by accident. This well-known flower was discovered in 1903. If you cannot see something you are looking for, you say that you cannot find it. You do not use 'discover' or 'find out' in this way. I'm lost — I can't find the bridge. You can say that someone finds out facts when this is easy to do, but you cannot use 'discover' or 'find' in this way. I found out the train times.discover, find, find out 都可以用于描述获知事实情况:He discovered the whole school knew about it...(他发现整个学校都知道这件事了),The young child finds that noise attracts attention...(小孩子发现吵闹能吸引注意力),We found out that she was wrong(我们发现她错了)。discover 比 find 稍正式,并常用于谈论科学研究和正式的调查。例如,可以用于表示发现治疗某种疾病的方法,还可以指偶然间的发现:This well-known flower was discovered in 1903(这种著名的花是 1903 年发现的)。找不到某物用 cannot find somthing, dicover和 find out 则无此用法。如:I'm lost — I can't find the bridge(我迷路了,我找不到那座桥了)。find out 可以指弄清很容易就发现的事实,但 discover 和 find 则无此用法:I found out the train times(我查到了列车时刻表)。1. discover在线翻译
1. 發掘:如果你的目标是要减少别人增加你的工作量,这三种层次的问题--发掘(Discover)、探询(Explore)、约定(Contract)就很有用!

词义讲解
常见错误
词源解说
v.(动词)
discover的基本意思是“除去覆盖物,使之显示出本来的面目”。引申则表示“发现”,指发现的对象本来存在,但人们不知道而被发现者所发现,可指人发现人、物或地方,也可以指人发现特定的活动或科学规律。
discover也可表示出乎意料地撞见〔碰见〕某事物或了解到、认识到、发觉某事物,由此引申可表示弄明真相或找到答案。
discover是及物动词,可接名词、代词、带疑问词的不定式、that/wh-从句作宾语,也可接以动词不定式、现在分词和“to be+ n./adj./prep. -phrase”充当补足语的复合宾语。可用于被动结构。
v.(动词)
这组词(组)都有“发明”“发现”的意思。discover指发现或偶然发现原来就存在但一直未被认识的东西; look for作“寻找”解时,指寻找的动作和过程; find指寻找的结果,即“找到”,是非延续性动词,不如discover正式; find out指经过观察、调查把某事、某物查出来,搞清楚,弄明白,多用于复杂而不易直接查出的情况; invent指发明原来不存在的东西,有时也可指虚构、捏造。例如:
Whilhelm Roentgen discovered X rays.威尔海尔姆·伦琴发现了X射线。
He was amazed to find her there.发现她在那里,他很吃惊。
Let's try and find out what's at the back of this problems.咱们想法弄清问题的背景是怎样的。
Whatt invented the steam engine.瓦特发明了蒸汽机。
She ran across some old letters when she was looking for something else.她找别的东西时,偶然翻出几封过去的信。
v.(动词)
我发现他们正在我们的池子里游泳。
误 I discovered swimming in our pool.
正 I discovered them swimming in our pool.
析 discover不可接动名词作宾语,但可接以现在分词充当补足语的复合宾语。
☆ 直接源自中古英语的discoveren,意为发现,暴露,显示。
