n.（名詞）
In its original sensesmaterialize is used intransitively to mean .to assume material form,. as inMarley`s ghost materialized before Scrooge`s eyes, or transitively to mean .to cause to assume material form,. as inDisney materialized his dream in a plot of orchard land in Orange County. But these uses are probably less common nowadays than two extended senses of the intransitive sense of the verb.In the first the meaning is roughly .to appear suddenly,.as inNo sooner had we set the menu down than a waiter materialized at our table. Some critics have labeled this use incorrect,but the criticism may suggest an overliteralism;used in this way,the verb has the sense .to appear as if by magic..Materialize also means .to take effective shape, come into existence,. particularly as applied to things or events that have been foreseen or anticipated:
materialize 的最初含義是作為不及物動詞時意思是.具有物質形式，. 例如在瑪雷的鬼魂在斯克魯奇眼前顯現了 一句中或作及物動詞時意思是.使具有物質形式，. 例如在迪斯尼在奧蘭治郡的一塊果園實現了他的夢想 中。 但是現在這兩種用法也許不如該詞作為不及物動詞的兩種延伸的用法更為常見。第一種用法的大致意思是指.突然出現，.例如在我們剛放下選單不久，侍者就突然出現在我們的飯桌旁 中。 一些批評家認為這種用法不準確，但是這種批評未免太拘泥於字面意思；同樣這種用法下，該詞還有.仿佛由於魔力而出現.的意思。Materialize 還有.顯形，顯效，出現.的含義， 尤其適用在已經預料到或被期望的事物。
例句：
The promised subsidies never materialized.
允諾的補助金從來沒有出現。

例句：
It was thought the community would oppose the measure, but no new objections materialized.
據猜想社區可能會反對該措施，但是新的反對意見還沒有出現。

This usage has been criticized,but it is well established in reputable writing and follows a familiar pattern of metaphoric extension.The same logic that allows us to sayThe plans did not materialize allows us to use equivalent and unobjectionable paraphrases with expressions such as take form and take shape.
這種用法曾經受到批評，但是它曾在一些享有聲望的作品中很好地被運用並且跟隨了隱喻引申含義的常見模式。我們說計畫沒有實現 時所用的邏輯允許我們使用相同的、無任何異議的其他表達方式，例如 take form 和 take shape
