Verb:
denote or connote;`maison' means `house' in French An example sentence would show what this word means convey or express a meaning;These words mean nothing to me! What does his strange behavior signify? make known with a word or signal;He signified his wish to pay the bill for our meal
v.动词
signify, connote, denote, imply, indicate, mean, suggest, symbolize这组词的共同意思是“意指”。其区别是： 1.mean是普通用语,对于明确与否的观点、物品都可以用; suggest意为“具有…的含义”,暗示“表明”。例如: He claims to mean one thing, but his choice of words suggests quite another.他宣称指的是一件事,而他的话却含有另外一个含义。2.indicate与imply意为“说明,表明,象征”, indicate通常指明显、明确的事物。例如: A high fever indicates a severe illness.高烧预示着要生病了。imply通常指含蓄地、不明确地“暗示”。例如: His smile implied that he had forgotten all about the time.他的笑预示着他完全忘记了时间。3.denote与connote通常指明示的内容、含义,从外观上即可看出。例如: The word “lion” denotes〔connotes〕 a certain kind of animal.“狮子”这个词指一种动物。4.connote与suggest和imply有时可以替换,但connote的用法比其他两个词较为正式。例如: Hunger connotes〔suggests, implies〕 unhappiness.饥饿就预示着不高兴。5.signify与symbolize表示“意味,象征”, symbolize通常指用物、符号代表某物,着重表示抽象的概念。例如: What does this strange mark signify〔symbolize〕?这个奇怪的符号代表什么? 6.signify有时可以和mean互换。例如: A red sunset signifies〔means〕 fine weather.一轮火红的落日象征着一个好天气。mean，imply，indicate，represent，denote，signify，suggest这些动词均含有“表示……的意思”之意。 mean最普通用词，指文字或符号等所表示的各种明确的或含蓄的意义。 imply侧重用文字或符号表示的联想，暗示。 indicate指明显的表示。 represent指体现或代表。 denote指某一词字面或狭义的意思，或指某些符号或迹象的特指含义。 signify指用文字、说话或表情等表示单纯的意思。 suggest通常指暗含地、隐晦地表达意思。 词根词缀： -sign-标记 + -ify动词词尾
