deduct(v.)
15世纪初,"在估算或计算中削减,分离或去除",源自拉丁语 deductus,过去分词为 deducere,含义为 "降低,带走",参见 deduce,与此前可以互换。Deduct 指的是撤回部分或数量; subtract 指的是撤消数字。相关: Deducted; deducting。
Deduct is to lead away, set aside, in a general or distributive sense; subtract, to draw off, remove, in a literal or collective sense. In settling a mercantile account, certain items, as charges, losses, etc. are deducted by being added together and their total subtracted from the grand total of the transaction. [Century Dictionary]
Deduct 是以一般或分配的意义来带走、搁置; subtract 是以字面或集体的意义来拿走、移除。在解决商业账户时,一些项,如费用、损失等通过将其相加并将其总计从交易总额中扣除来实现。
