Date is not used much in British English and is just beginning to sound old-fashioned in American English. Both go out and date place an emphasis on going out to different places and doing things with your partner, but see does not.这三个词语均用于进行时态，带有how long、for three months等时间状语，意味着恋爱关系为时尚短，不确定是否会发展成更认真或长久的关系。date在英式英语中用得不多，在美式英语中也开始显得有些过时。go out和date都强调和伴侣去不同的地方约会，但see无此义。■be together

Picture and visualize are used particularly for imagining sth in a picture or series of pictures. They are very similar in meaning but visualize is slightly more formal and is often used to talk about a deliberate attempt to imagine sth for a particular purpose. * imagine在这些词中最宽泛，指想象人、地方、事物或经历等看上去或感觉上会是什么样子。picture和visualize尤用于想象一幅或一系列画面。两词含义非常相似，只是visualize稍显正式，并常指为特定目的而有意识地设想。■conceptualize (BrE alsoconceptualise) / /kənˈseptʃuəlaɪz/ / [transitive, intransitive] (formal) to form an idea of sth in your mind, especially an idea of sth that is difficult to imagine accurately将⋯概念化（为⋯）；构思；使形成观念◆How can we conceptualize the way the international economy works?我们如何将国际经济的运行方式概念化？◆The ability to conceptualize is one of the most likely indicators of who will be a successful manager.形成概念的能力是评断一个人能否成为出色的经理人的最适用指标之一。■pretend [transitive, intransitive](especially of children) to imagine that sth is true as part of a game（尤指儿童在游戏中）假装，扮作◆Let's pretend (that) we're astronauts.咱们假装是太空人吧。◆They didn't have any real money so they had to pretend.他们没有真钱，就用假的代替。
