Imagine想像,猜想不與介詞of連用·imagine(doing)sth.conceive:指在頭腦中組織好自己的思想，在心中形成一個(gè)系統(tǒng)的思想或一個(gè)見解。imagine比conceive更強(qiáng)調(diào)形象思維，指在頭腦中形成一個(gè)清晰明確的意象。ExerciseD5Wear：[transitive]tohavesomethingsuchasclothes，shoes，orjewelleryonyourbodyDress：toputclothesonyourselforsomeoneelse（一般跟IN搭配）wear是“穿著”，“戴著”的意思，可用于穿衣、穿鞋、戴帽子，戴手套、佩戴首飾等，強(qiáng)調(diào)狀態(tài).

dress可作及物動詞，有“穿著”，“打扮”的意思，但只用于穿衣，它既表示動作，又表狀態(tài)，常用于下列結(jié)構(gòu)：dresssb/oneself(給某人穿衣服)、dresswell和bedressedin等ExerciseD6Idealistic：believingthatyoushouldliveaccordingtohighstandardsandprinciples，eveniftheycannotreallybeachieved，orshowingthisbeliefIdeal：thebestormostsuitablethatsomethingcouldpossiblybeidealistic是形容詞，表示“不切實(shí)際的impractical，空想的”的意思Theplanisidealistic
