Put sth forward is not used with I in this way.可以说I propose that we go out to eat,但这听起来非常正式。表达此义时put sth forward的主语不能是I◆I put forward that we go out to eat.Suggest is sometimes less certain than propose or put sth forward: you might suggest sth in order to be helpful, or in a gentle way because you are not sure how welcome your suggestion will be; you are more likely to propose or put sth forward in a confident way and when you definitely want your idea to be accepted. When sth is to be considered in a formal process it is more usual to use propose or put sth forward. * suggest有时显得不如propose或put sth forward有把握,suggest表示提出建议是为了有所帮助,或不清楚他人是否乐于听取而出言谨慎。propose或put sth forward较常指自信地提出建议,绝对希望被采纳。通过正式程序提出建议或动议时较常用propose或put sth forward◆They are ready to discuss plans proposed / put forward by the UN.他们准备就联合国提出的方案进行讨论。◆They are ready to discuss plans suggested by the UN.You can put forward but not propose or suggest a suggestion or argument. * put forward可以后接suggestion或argument,但propose和suggest不可以。■move [transitive] (formal) to suggest sth formally, for example in parliament or in a formal debate, so that it can be discussed and decided(正式地)提出,提议(如在国会或正式辩论会上)◆I move that a vote be taken on this.我提议就此进行投票。◆The Opposition moved an amendment to the Bill.反对派对法案提出了修正案。■advance [transitive] (formal) to suggest an idea, theory or plan for people to discuss提出(想法、理论或计划供讨论)◆The article advances a new theory to explain changes in the climate.这篇文章提出了一个新的理论来解释气候变化。ⓘ Advance is a more formal way of saying put sth forward; it is used especially in theoretical contexts, to talk about an idea, a theory, a thesis, an explanation or an argument, although it can also be used in practical contexts to talk about plans and solutions. * advance比put sth forward正式,尤用于理论研究的语境,宾语可以是idea、theory、thesis、explanation或argument。当然advance也可用于实际生活语境,表示提出计划和解决方案。■moot muːt [transitive, usually passive] (formal) to suggest a plan for people to discuss提出⋯供讨论◆The idea was first mooted at last week's meeting.这一想法在上周的会议上首次提出。◆It had been mooted that there should be a study period after school.有人提出放学后应该有自习时间。ⓘ An idea is usually mooted at a fairly early stage of thinking, before all the details have been worked out into a definite proposal. * moot通常指提出一个初步的想法,有待研究相关细节后才能提出确切的建议。
