What's the difference between construe and translate?

Construe


Definition:

  • (v. t. ) To apply the rules of syntax to (a sentence or clause) so as to exhibit the structure, arrangement, or connection of, or to discover the sense; to explain the construction of; to interpret; to translate.
  • (v. t. ) To put a construction upon; to explain the sense or intention of; to interpret; to understand.

Example Sentences:

  • (17) This modality, however; should not be construed as "conservative" management.
  • (18) This study was designed to test four hypotheses: (a) parents of schizophrenics constitute a discrete group amongst the parents of psychiatric patients with regard to aspects of their construing; (b) schizophrenics can be differentiated from other psychiatric patients by aspects of their construing; (c) the construing of parents of psychiatric patients is related to that of their disturbed children; and (d) parents of schizophrenics differ from parents of other psychiatric patients in their personality and attitudes.
  • (19) The time limit in psychoanalytically oriented brief psychotherapy has been construed as a motivation for the patient and the therapist to work more efficiently in therapy and as a stimulation of the patient's unconscious conflicts relating to separation and loss.
  • (20) In general, these results suggest that patients displayed similar symptom patterns over time, whether construed as personality traits or characteristic patterns of responding when symptomatic.
