v. 预知，预见（foresee的现在分词）

foresee，anticipate，foreknow

【解说】

这组词都有“预知”的意思，它们的区别是anticipate指依据事先所曾经历过的体验而预知；foreknow指通过自然的力量或超自然的力量预知；foresee则不表明怎样预知，可通过灵感或想象，也可通过推理。试体会下面三句的意思We anticipated that they would be late.我们预料他们会迟到。Who would foreknow the miseries of man?谁能预知人类的苦难?Things turned out to be exactly as he had foreseen.事情已如他所预见的那样。
