2. view
view释义多，用法和搭配也相当多。想嚼透这个词，就先要弄清楚view作名词的几个释义。
◆ 研究词源后不难发现，view名词的词源义“(对土地的) 正式视察”已经消失；而15世纪中期产生的意义“视觉”是它的基本义。这一意义源自于拉丁语videre(to see)，和英语vision是同根词。
◆ view根据基本义“视觉；视野；视线”，结合不同的语境又衍生出新的释义。

导入
爱读英文小说的亲们，一定对图片上的话不陌生。这句话是英国著名女性小说家简奥斯汀 (Jane Austen) 所著的长篇小说《傲慢与偏见》 (Pride and Prejudice) 的开篇第一句话，翻译成中文是：凡是有钱的单身汉，总想娶位太太，这已经成了一条举世公认的道理。
acknowledge在上面的句子中意为“承认”，是其常用义。acknowledge 词形与knowledge有关，acknowledge = a (处于) + c (无意义）+ knowledge (知道)→处于知道的状态→承认，与recognize相比，程度相对弱一些，侧重于“知道”某个事实。
有些英文书的正文前或正文后有一页Acknowledgements，可翻译成“致谢；感谢；鸣谢”。
下面小V带着大家一起来学习acknowledge和acknowledgement。
维词解读
★acknowledge第一层英语释义中的accept和admit是其近义词，可建立新旧知识之间的联系。
★acknowledge第二、三层释义是低义频释义，而且仅仅从中文释义来理解原由网acknowledge，不太好理解，所以这两层释义均给出英语释义，以帮助理解。
★acknowledgement 是acknowledge加后缀-ment派生而来。其释义也与acknowledge相对应。

高考书面表达有时会要求学生写一封自荐信或求职信。比如山东卷曾经有过这样一篇书面表达：
在介绍知识面时，考生难免会用到“丰富、广博”等相关意义的英语单词，这时考生一般会想到much，rich，wide， good等等。本单元中也有个单词可以表达“丰富的”：broad。
首先我们看下《新高中英语词汇》对broad释义的处理：
学习了broad这个词后，学生在介绍自己的知识面这条要求时就可以这么写了：As a student, I’ve read a lot and have broad knowledge in many fields. 希望同学们在书面表达中尽量使用不同的词汇表达同样的意思，这样能使文章增色不少。

commitment由commit (使承担义务；使作出保证) + -ment构成。commitment与“承诺 (promise)”有关。承诺的事 (commitments) 有大有小，大如一段婚姻或一份工作，小如与朋友的约会。一旦作出承诺 (make a commitment)，就需要全身心的投入。
commitment是抽象名词，单纯从所给汉语释义无法参透其背后含义，而给出英语释义是学习抽象名词的方法之一，以更全面、更准确地掌握commitment的释义。
commitment的具体释义和典型例句如下：

set的基本义是“放；摆放”。“放”的语义特征为“使某物处于某一新位置，并保持下去”。通过“放”的语义特征，我们可以将set的各层释义联系起来。需要注意的是set不同的释义会突出该语义特征的不同方面。
动词set的语义网络：
维词解读：
学习set的短语动词，可从小品词入手。比如短语动词set out，其中out意为“向外”，则set out就有“使向外”这一基本含义，通过这一含义我们可以更好地理解set out的释义，“出发”，“阐述”等。
