Figure out 表示理解或解决某事,例如弄明白它怎样运作、为什么发生,以及下一步该做什么。它通常强调通过思考、尝试不同方法或整合事实来得到答案。

figure out + how/why/what + clause; figure out + the answer/problem; figure + it + out

- We still can't figure out why the app keeps crashing on older phones.
- I couldn't figure out the bus route, so I asked a local for directions.
修改原因
修改前It took me a week to figure out in the new accounting program.
修改后It took me a week to figure out the new accounting program.
Figure out 后面直接接想弄明白的对象,不加介词,因此 figure out in the program 不合适。应说 figure out the program,也可以更具体地说 figure out how the program works。
Find out 侧重获知事实,可能通过询问、阅读、核查等方式:I found out the price on their website。Figure out 更强调思考推导的过程:I figured out why the price was so high。两者有重叠,find out 不一定只来自现成的外部答案。宾语为代词时要放中间:figure it out,不说 figure out it。
动手练习
I didn't search online; I ___ the answer myself by drawing a simple diagram.
查看答案
figured out — 说话者没有上网查,而是画图推导出了答案,句子突出的是思考解决问题的过程,因此 figured out 最贴切。Found out 也能表示获知结果,但不如 figured out 准确突出这里的推理过程。
回想一个没有别人帮助就弄懂的新设备、应用或任务。说明具体弄懂了什么,以及花了多久。
