英英释义:to be considered to be something 

“constitute”是及物动词,除了有大家比较熟悉的“组成、构成”的意思外,还可以作“算是、可以被视为”。这种用法比较正式一点,出现的频次也很高。在有的语境中可以用它替换 amount to 或 be equivalent of 等词。

sentence

1. Failing to complete the work on time constitutes a breach of the labor contract. 

2. Testing patients without their consent would constitute a professional and legal offense.

3. Although the company won the bid, it could hardly constitute a victory.

4. Another problem is the government’s narrow view of what constitutes a family, says Jean Yeung Wei-Jun of the National University of Singapore: two heterosexual parents with a male breadwinner. Many regulations support this definition.(这句中的 constitute 意思就是“算是”)

5. America’s Supreme Court gave the go-ahead for iPhone users to sue Apple. The case centres on whether Apple’s App Store, which takes a 30% cut of all sales, constitutes an unfair monopoly. Unlike Android-based rivals, Apple’s phones are designed to prevent users from installing apps from other sources.(这里 constitute 可以理解为“算是、可以称得上是”)

6. On May 14th the state’s Senate passed a bill that would, in effect, ban abortion outright. Signed into law by the governor the following day, it constitutes the harshest abortion legislation passed in America in half a century.(这里的 constitue 和 is 同义,不过相比来说 is 更加绝对,而 constitute 表示“可以算是”,更留有余地。)

practice

这位父亲去年一年都没参加家长会,可以被视作是不负责任。 

Absent from all parents meeting last year, the father constitutes an irresponsible one.

参考翻译:That the father did not attend any of the parents' meetings last year constitutes irresponsibility. 或 The father failed to attend parents' meetings last year, constituting irresponsibility.
