    小知识

    Consolidate means to bring together. If you consolidate student loans, you put them all together into one big loan. If you consolidate your childhood toys, you grab them all up and put them in one place. Preferably a toy box.

    Consolidate comes from the Latin roots com- (“together”) and solidare (“to make solid”). So, consolidate is to bring things together to make something solid, stronger, or easier to handle. A general might consolidate his troops, a librarian might consolidate his grammar books, and someone with credit-card debt might consolidate the debt from different cards onto one.

    consolidate，compact，concentrate，unify。
    这组词都含有“结集一起”的意思。它们的区别是：compact表示“压紧，束紧”，通常指将许多东西压在一起，形成一个结实的整体；consolidate通常指联合或融合在一起，从而得以“巩固”“加强”；unify表示“统一”，强调由部分构成的统一体，但是各部门仍行使自己的职责，既为自己也为整体的利益服务；concentrate表示“浓缩”“聚拢”，指将许多散开的东西聚集在一个中心的周围。
