suggest在这句话里是什么意思?具体用法是什么?
Though the term"graphic design" may suggest laying out corporate brochures and annual reports,it has come to signify a wide range of work,from package designs and company logotypes to signs,book jackets,computer graphics,and film titles.
在这句话里,suggest 和lay out suggest 后跟ving不应该是建议的意思吗?这个词具体用法到底是什么?

Answer 1

suggest这里是暗示的意思,lay out设计,suggest是“建议,提议”的意思的时候,用suggest sth (to sb)； 当“推荐”的意思讲,用suggest sb sth；当“暗示”的意思讲,用suggest doing或者suggest接从句
