其中:
satisfy 表示“使(需求、标准等)得到满足”;
the conditions of sth. 指“某事物的条件/要求”(of引出“条件所属的对象”)。
该短语是及物动词短语,通常用于描述“主体(人/物)达到某事物的规定条件”,结构为:
1、 学术/教育场景(满足入学、奖学金等条件)
To be admitted to this university, you must satisfy the conditions of a minimum GPA of 3.5 and two recommendation letters.
(要被这所大学录取,你必须满足GPA不低于3.5及提供两封推荐信的条件。)
She failed to satisfy the conditions of the scholarship, so her application was rejected.
(她没满足奖学金的条件,所以申请被拒绝了。)
2、 法律/合同场景(符合合同、假释等要求)
The company must satisfy the conditions of the contract before receiving payment.
(公司必须先满足合同条件才能收到款项。)
The prisoner was released early because he satisfied the conditions of good behavior during his sentence.
(这名囚犯因服刑期间表现良好、满足条件而提前获释。)
3、 日常/规则场景(符合活动、资格等要求)
To join the club, you need to satisfy the conditions of being over 18 and paying the membership fee.
(要加入俱乐部,你需要满足年满18岁及缴纳会费的条件。)
该短语与 "meet the conditions of sth." 几乎同义(均表示“达到条件”),但 satisfy 更强调“使条件完全得到满足”,meet 更侧重“达到标准”,可根据语境互换。
总结:这个短语常用于需要明确“符合某事物的具体要求”的场景,核心是“主体满足客体的条件”。
