investigate /ɪnˈvestɪɡeɪt/ v. 调查；侦查

词源联动：

由前缀in-（深入）+ 词根vestigate（追踪、探查）构成，和invest同根
核心均为 “投入精力去做某事”，invest 是 “投入钱 / 时间”，investigate是 “投入精力去探查、调查”，记同根关联更易掌握。

关键使用提醒

1.及物 / 不及物搭配：

直接接 “事件、真相、原因” 等宾语时，不用加介词，✅ investigate the accident；表 “深入调查某事” 时，需加介词into，✅ investigate into the accident，不可混用。

2.同根词联动：

写作中可灵活切换investigate和investigation，让句式更丰富，避免重复，比如：
动词版：The police will investigate the fire cause.（警方将调查火灾原因。）
名词版：The police will start an investigation into the fire cause.

3.写作加分技巧：

描述正式场景的 “调查” 时，用investigate代替口语化的find out。
比如 “校方调查作弊事件”，不说 “The school finds out the cheating case”，说 “The school investigates the cheating case”，表达更正式、精准，贴合书面写作要求。
