Gather can suggest greater activity than understand: what you understand is what you have been told, usually without asking; what you gather is either what you have been told, or what you have found out by asking people. Gather, but notunderstand, is often used with can/could.这两个词均常用于口语,但understand比gather正式。相比understand,gather意味着付出更多的努力才得知信息:understand表示所知悉的情况是别人告知的,通常不用主动询问;gather表示所知悉的情况可能是别人告知的,也可能是主动打听到的。gather,而非understand,常和can/could连用◆As far as I can understand...◆From what they could understand...■reason [transitive, intransitive] to form a judgement about sth by considering the facts and using your power to think in a logical way推理;推论;推断◆They reasoned, correctly, that the enemy would not attempt an attack at night.他们作出了正确推断,敌人不会企图发动夜袭。 see also reason ⇨ reasonnoun, reasoned ⇨ rational, reasoning ⇨ reasoning■ˌread sth ˈinto sth
