Question

comprise vt.构成；包含 (1) 这个月的数字已包含在总数之内。(2) 苏联由十五个加盟共和国组成。(3) 五十个州组成美国。(4) 构成那部小说开头部分的几章特别好。(5) 一个板球队由11名队员组成。(6) 新公司由英特尔和意法半导体的闪存部门组成。 In its traditional use, the word comprise is the opposite of compose: if A comprises X, Y, and Z, then X, Y, and Z compose A. But because compose and comprise sound so much alike, people have long confused the two. So now you often hear things like "The band is comprised of a guitarist, a bassist, and a hairy drummer," whereas sticklers would prefer "is composed of" in that sentence. The word is undergoing a usage shift, making it just as hairy as that drummer!
