知識點(diǎn)拓展精講
辨析 acknowledge&admit
acknowledge 是一個(gè)正式用語，比 admit 更加正式一點(diǎn)。
acknowledge 是承認(rèn)事情的存在或者發(fā)生，但我們不一定能看出承認(rèn)者的態(tài)度到底如何。
admit 往往帶有“不情愿地承認(rèn)”某件事情的存在或發(fā)生，尤其是這是一件不好的件事情。所以當(dāng)我們聽到有人admit什么的時(shí)候，第一感覺是他出了問題，所以“承認(rèn)錯誤或失誤”。
Jim's team acknowledged their defeat.
Jim 隊(duì)接受輸了的事實(shí)。（但是他們可能并不服輸。）
Jim's team admitted their defeat.
Jim 隊(duì)承認(rèn)他們輸了。（不情愿或是不得不承認(rèn)。）
→Jim's team admitted their defeat, but they didn't acknowledge it. 認(rèn)輸?shù)遣环敗?br />2.loss noun.

下一步該怎么做，我完全沒譜。
lose(動詞)-lost（形容詞）-loss（名詞）
