perceive
释义
To become aware of something through the senses; to notice
察觉，感知（通过感官）
To understand or interpret something in a particular way; to regard as
理解，认识到；看作，视为
词根拆分
词根派生per-（穿透、彻底）+ -ceive（拉丁 capere「拿取」）=「彻底地把它抓进来」。当你 perceive 某物时，你的感官不是擦肩而过，而是把它整个抓住、带进大脑。从这个「通过感官彻底抓取」的身体义，引申出心理义：perceive a problem 就是把问题看透抓住；perceive X as Y 就是把 X 以某种形状纳入你的理解。
词根 cap 还连着 163 个词为什么是这个意思
perceive 是 -ceive 三核心里「向内」的那个：receive 是把东西接回手中，perceive 是把世界通过眼睛、耳朵和心智接收进来。per-（「彻底」）正是「随便瞄一眼」和「真正感知」的区别——你不只是看见它，而是把它整个吸收进来。

易混词辨析
perceive 和 notice：notice 是日常简单词，指某事引起你注意（I noticed she was late）。perceive 更刻意，常涉及「理解、判断」而不只是「发现」（他把这句话 perceive 成了侮辱）。你 notice 一个声音，你 perceive 它的含义。
