| 单词 | transpire |
| 例句 | transpire verb 1.•it transpired that her family had moved away:become known, emerge, come to light, be revealed, turn out, come out, be discovered, prove to be the case, unfold. 2.•I'm going to find out exactly what transpired:happen, occur, take place, arise, come about, materialize, turn up, chance, befall, ensue | literary come to pass.USAGE transpire The common use of transpire to mean 'occur, happen' (•I'm going to find out exactly what transpired) is a loose extension of an earlier meaning, 'come to be known' (•it transpired that Mark had been baptized a Catholic). This loose sense of 'happen,' which is now more common in American usage than the sense of 'come to be known,' was first recorded in American English toward the end of the eighteenth century and has been listed in American dictionaries from the nineteenth century. Careful writers should note, however, that in cases where •occur or •happen would do just as well, the use of transpire may strike readers as an affectation or as jargon.Usage notes show additional guidance on finer points of English usage.CHOOSE THE RIGHT WORD See |
