62 emerge,immerge
这一组词的读音完全相同。念/i'm+: :DN/,又都是动词,但意义恰好相反。
Emerge的意思是“露出”、“出现(to come out or come into view),一般用以指从某物之后(下)露出;它亦可用作比喻意,指困难、问题、事实等显现出来。emerge的名词是emergence。例:
After a spell of wet days,the sun emerges from behind the clouds today.
一连下了几天雨,今天太阳从云后出现了。
The diver emerged from the water at last.
潜水员终于浮出了水面。

Immerge很多时写作immerse,其意为“浸入”、“沉入”(to plunge into or dip into),它的名词是 immersion。例:
The diver immerged in the icy sea for several minutes.
潜水员潜入冰冷的海里数分钟。
He has immerged the dress in the boiling dye for two hours.
他已把衣服浸入滚烫的染料中两个小时了。
注:在现代英语中,immerse 比 immerge用得普遍,因为后者是前者的古体。
