释义
v.
To achieve a desired aim or result; to do well
成功,达成目标
v.
To take over a position, title, or role from someone who held it before
继任,接替;继承
词根拆分
词根派生suc-(sub-,「从下面上来 / 紧接着」)+ ceed(走)= 「紧接着上来」。紧接在某人之后接手一个角色 → succeed 他(成为继任者)。如果努力按计划「成了」→ succeed = 达成目标。一个根,两个日常含义。
词根 ced 还连着 90 个词为什么是这个意思
两个含义共享同一画面:「紧接着上来」。在职位上接在某人之后,就是 succeed 他(succession 继承、successor 继任者)。一个计划按你期望的方式「成了」,就是 succeed(success 成功)。英语把同一个拉丁动词的两条分支都保留了下来。
