Question

purport v.意味着；声称；意图n.意义；要旨；大要 (1) 她的来信可能意味着她快要到了。(2) 他的计划并不如他们所声称的那样。(3) 我不知道你的意思。(4) 尽管如此,还会有其他人对我们有着特殊的意义。(5) 他说话的涵义是说他是对的。(6) 我发现要了解他的演讲主旨是很困难的。(7) 该项声明大意是说该商行已经破产。 The verb purport can mean "to claim" — whether you mean it or not — or "to intend," like when you purport to study all night. So it makes sense that as a noun, purport means the intention or purpose, like the purport of a political candidate's speech was to get your vote. If the speech was long and hard to follow, you might be lucky just to get the purport, which here means "the main point or meaning."
