vi. 指挥,管理,监督 指挥,管理,监督 superintend v 1: watch and direct; " Who is overseeing this project?" [ synonym: { oversee}, { supervise}, { superintend}, { manage}] Superintend \ Su` per* in* tend"\, v. t. [ imp. & p. p. { Superintended}; p. pr. & vb. n. { Superintending}.] [ L. superintendere. See { Super-}, and { Intend}.] To have or exercise the charge and oversight of; to oversee with the power of direction; to take care of with authority; to supervise; as, an officer superintends the building of a ship or the construction of a fort. [ 1913 Webster] The king may appoint a council, who may superintend the works of this nature. -- Bacon. [ 1913 Webster] Syn: { Superintend}, { Supervise}. Usage: These words in general use are the synonymous. As sometimes used, supervise implies the more general, and superintend, the more particular and constant, inspection or direction. Among architects there is a disposition to use the word supervise in the sense of a general oversight of the main points of construction with reference to the design, etc., and to employ the word superintend to signify a constant, careful attention to all the details of construction. But this technical distinction is not firmly established. [ 1913 Webster]
