词组 figure
释义 figure
      Figure meaning "conclude, decide, think" is another apparent Americanism that has a few usage commentators worried. It was termed a provincialism by Emily Post back in 1927, and maybe that judgment persists in some. It is standard, in fact, but as the examples show, not especially formal:
      ... he doubtless figures it will make the Americans happy —Robert Shaplen, New Yorker, 11 Sept. 1971
      He figures he and the Lord are lucky in any particular year to come out even —John Kenneth Gal-braith, Ambassador's Journal, 1969
      If you don't have the money, they figure you're not going anywhere —Fred R. Harris, Harper's, May 1972
