Misinterpret Meaning in English
word
释义
To understand or explain something incorrectly; to get the wrong meaning or idea about what someone said or did.
用法与细微差别
Used in formal and neutral contexts. Common collocations include 'misinterpret a message', 'misinterpret someone's actions', or 'misinterpret data'. It's about misunderstanding, not just lacking understanding. Do not confuse with 'misunderstand', which is more general—'misinterpret' often refers to specific meanings (words, gestures).
