| 词组 | contrive |
| 释义 | 1．contrive 后面通常接不定式，作“居然做到……”（指成功的事）或“竟然弄得……”（指糟糕的事）解。例如：He contrived to finish the work before sunset. 和 He contrived to lose his ticket. 注意第一句是“他居然做到在日落以前完成那工作”。contrived to finish 有 succeeded in finishing 的意思。He contrived to finish the work before sunset, but he failed 是讲不通的。 2．contrive（居然做到）后面可以接以 that 引导的从句，那从句里用 should。例如：Her father contrived that she should complete her college course. |
