conceive做不及物動(dòng)詞時(shí),有以下詞組conceive of (doing)sth. 想象, 設(shè)想…
例句：It's difficult to conceive of traveling to the moon.難以想象到月球旅行會(huì)是什么樣子.
I can not conceive of such cruelty as to take a child away from its mother.我真不能想象, 竟有把孩子從他母親手里奪走這種殘酷行為.
conceive做及物動(dòng)詞時(shí),表示“想出（主意、計(jì)劃等）；, 構(gòu)想, 設(shè)想”
例句：You may conceive a new world in the atomic age.你可以設(shè)想出原子時(shí)代的新世界.
I conceived that there must be some difficulties.我料想到一定有些困難.
總結(jié)：conceive of 能表示想象的意思,所以這句話要加 of.
而conceive和conceive of的另外一個(gè)用法上的區(qū)別是：
1.conceive后面可接從句,或者名詞.2.conceive of后可接名詞或者動(dòng)名詞.
