grammar · medium
易错句子I can't figure out it.
正确表达I can't figure it out.
figure out 属于『动词+小品词』结构:宾语是名词时既可放在 out 前也可放在 out 后,但宾语若是人称代词(it、them 等),代词必须插在 figure 和 out 之间,所以只能写作 figure it out。

易错句子I figure out he is right.
正确表达I figure he is right.
figure 表示『认为、估计』这种主观看法时本身就够了,不加 out;figure out 的意思是『(经过思考)弄明白、推断出』,侧重得出结论,不能用来表达单纯的看法,否则意思会变成『我弄明白了他是对的』。
