inchoateadj. & v.●adj. /inˈkəʊeit, ˈink-, -ət/ 1 just begun 才开始的 2 undeveloped, rudimentary, unformed 不发达的，初步的，不成熟的 ●v. tr. /ˈinkəʊeit/ begin; originate 开始；创始 □ inchoately adv.□ inchoateness n.□ inchoative /-ˈkəʊətiv/ adj.[Latin inchoatus, past part. of inchoare (as IN-2, choare ‘begin’)]■ Usage 用法说明 Inchoate, meaning ‘just begun’ or ‘undeveloped’, should not be confused with incoherent or chaotic, although all these words can often be found in similar contexts. Inchoate scribbles thus means ‘undeveloped’ rather than ‘incoherent’ pieces of writing. 词语 inchoate 意指“才开始的”、“不发达的”，不要将其和 incoherent (不连贯的)和 chaotic (杂乱的)混淆，虽然经常可以看到这三个词用在相同的上下文中。词组 inchoate scribbles 是指“不成熟”的文章，而不是“语无伦次”的文章。 |
