释义
inspect
(once / 149 pages)
v

When you inspect something, you look at it carefully. When you're buying a used car, you should inspect it inside and out, and if you don't know much about what goes on under the hood, you should have a mechanic inspect it, too.
Inspect means literally "to look into," and includes the Latin root that you find in lots of other words related to "look" — spectacle, respect, and spectator for instance. If you work in a restaurant, you may see a health department official come to inspect the operation, to make sure everything is clean and the food is stored and cooked properly and that the restaurant doesn't have any health code violations that might make your diners sick.
WORD FAMILY
inspect: inspected, inspecting, inspection, inspector, inspects+/inspection: inspections/inspector: inspectors, inspectorship/inspectorship: inspectorships
