invent的基本意思为“发明”,强调运用想象力创造出以前从来未有的事物(机器、设备、方法、材料等); 也可指通过调查研究和思考发明有用的东西,强调通过智慧和思考,而非靠灵感来“发明创造”。用于比喻也可指出于不诚实或坏的目的捏造借口、理由、事实等。
invent是及物动词,接名词或代词作宾语,可用于被动结构。

v.(动词)

invent, discover, find, find out, look for: 这组词(组)都有“发明”“发现”的意思。discover指发现或偶然发现原来就存在但一直未被认识的东西; look for作“寻找”解时,指寻找的动作和过程; find指寻找的结果,即“找到”,是非延续性动词,不如discover正式; find out指经过观察、调查把某事、某物查出来,搞清楚,弄明白,多用于复杂而不易直接查出的情况; invent指发明原来不存在的东西,有时也可指虚构、捏造。例如:
