英文词源
- satisfy
- satisfy: [15] Etymologically, satisfy means ‘make enough’. It comes, via Old French satisfier, from Latin satisfacere ‘satisfy, content’, a compound verb formed from satis ‘enough’ (a relative of English sad, sated, and saturate, and source of English satiate). The derived noun satisfaction reached English well over a century before the verb, in the specialized ecclesiastical sense ‘performance of penance’.
=> sad, sated, satiate, saturate - satisfy (v.)
- early 15c., from Middle French satisfier, from Old French satisfaire "pay, repay, make reparation" (14c., Modern French satisfaire), from Latin satisfacere "discharge fully, comply with, make amends," literally "do enough," from satis "enough" (from PIE root *sa- "to satisfy;" see sad) + facere "to make, do, perform" (see factitious). Related: Satisfied; satisfying.
同义词辨析
satisfy, meet, fulfil
这些动词均含"满足"之意。
satisfy： 指完全达到预定的条件、要求、标准或期望、心愿等。
meet： 指最低限度地达到预期的标准，或强调要达到这个标准的困难。
fulfil与satisfy基本同义，但侧重指实现的情况好于一般标准。
