acquire obtain有何区别??
这两个词词义上真没什么过多区别
牛津和剑桥都是两个互为解释的~~
如果硬要区别,acquire有种慢慢获得的意思(但acquire (=buy)a house....),而obtain则有种通过努力的意思,但也不绝对,主要还是搭配问题,注意几点见下
用法和搭配上注意几点
1.obtain搭配 advice/information/permission
e.g. Have you obtained permission into the hall?
2.obtain 经常用manage to obtain sth,而acquire不这么用
e.g. He finally managed to obtain what he wanted.
3.acquire搭配 a knowledge/reputation/taste(habit)
e.g. He acquired a good knowledge of English during his stay in England.
He has acquired a reputation for dishonesty.
I have acquired a taste for(=like) olives these days.
(这个意思有个引申词组,an acquired taste 开始觉得不好,但慢慢觉得好了
如:Maybe you will not get interested in Jay's songs at first, but when you listen quietly, you will find an acquired taste in it.)
其他用法两个基本可以通用
