Concluded

活动收尾(concluded the meeting)、研究得出判断(concluded that the drug is safe)、合同缔结(concluded an agreement)。语气偏正式。

  1. “The panel concluded that more data were needed.” (专家组断定还需要更多数据。)
  2. “She concluded her speech with a thank-you to volunteers.” (她以感谢志愿者结束了演讲。)
  3. “They concluded a trade deal after months of talks.” (数月谈判后,他们达成贸易协议。)

拉丁语 concludere(关闭、终结),con- + claudere(关闭),与 include、exclude 中的 clud 同源。

con-(完全)+ clud(关)+ -ed;名词 conclusion。

学术论文 The authors concluded… 是标准表述;会议 concluded successfully 常见于新闻稿。与 close 相比 conclude 更书面。

  • 固定搭配: “concluded that” (断定), “concluded with” (以…结束), “concluded agreement” (达成协议)
  • 名词: conclusion

include 是关在里面,conclude 是“完全关上”——讨论关上时就得出结论。

“After reviewing the logs, the engineer concluded the outage started at 2:07 a.m.” (查阅日志后,工程师断定故障始于凌晨2点07分。)
