"suggest" in Chinese (Simplified)

• 建议
• 表明

Definition

表示一个想法、计划或可行的做法，供别人考虑。它也可以表示不直接说出来，而是让人觉得某件事可能是真的。

Usage Notes (Chinese (Simplified))

常见搭配有：'suggest doing something'、'suggest that + clause' 和 'suggest something to someone'。标准英语里不说 'suggest to do'。在很多语境中，它比 'recommend' 更中性、更委婉；在正式或描述性用法中，它还可以表示“表明”或“暗示”。
