知识点拓展精讲
辨析 acknowledge&admit
acknowledge 是一个正式用语，比 admit 更加正式一点。
acknowledge 是承认事情的存在或者发生，但我们不一定能看出承认者的态度到底如何。
admit 往往带有“不情愿地承认”某件事情的存在或发生，尤其是这是一件不好的件事情。所以当我们听到有人admit什么的时候，第一感觉是他出了问题，所以“承认错误或失误”。
Jim's team acknowledged their defeat.
Jim 队接受输了的事实。（但是他们可能并不服输。）
Jim's team admitted their defeat.
Jim 队承认他们输了。（不情愿或是不得不承认。）
→Jim's team admitted their defeat, but they didn't acknowledge it. 认输但是不服输。
2.loss noun.

例句：She said his death was a great loss to herself.
她说他的死对自己来说是巨大的损失。
