Find out 表示发现或获知原先不知道的信息。它描述得知的那一刻,而非已经掌握知识的状态:I found out yesterday。后面常接 that、what、when、if 或 about。
想在对话中用 find out 吗?
写一句英语,查看错误和更自然的表达建议。
本次检查比平时稍久,完成后反馈会自动显示在这里。
find out + that/what/when/if; find out about + topic
- I called the museum to find out if it's open on Mondays.
- When did you find out about the new exam format?
- Our manager found out that the client had paid twice and sent the money back.
修改原因
修改前Yesterday I knew that my flight was cancelled.
修改后Yesterday I found out that my flight was cancelled.
Knew 看似可以表示知道,但 know 描述一种状态,不是消息传来的那一刻。若要说查到了信息,或有人告诉你,用 found out。
Learn 也可以表示获知消息,但更正式,常见于信件或报道:We learned that the course had been cancelled。对话里 find out 更自然:I just found out the course is cancelled。
动手练习
Please call the airline and ___ whether our flight is delayed.
查看答案
find out — 这里要求打电话去获取信息,是一个查明情况的动作,所以用 find out。Know 表示已经知道的状态,不符合这项请求。
写一次得知工作或学习方面重要消息的经历。说明是什么消息,以及谁告诉了你。
Last Monday I found out from my team leader that our office would move to a new building.
