prepossess 是一个较正式的动词，指通过先入为主的积极印象来影响他人对某人的看法，通常在正式场合或书面语中使用，强调在直接互动前就已塑造了他人的看法或获得支持的优先地位。该词带有古典气质，日常口语较少使用。描述时常与 someone with something 或 in favor of 一个提议搭配，表示以某种信息、形象来赢得支持。
用法提醒
- 记住：prepossess 是正式用词，通常跟 someone with something 或 in favor of 搭配使用，且并非“先前拥有”。多用于描述第一印象和说服情景。叙述时可用过去式 prepossessed。搭配中性或正面名词。日常口语避免滥用。
常见误解
- 以为它等同于‘先拥有’
- 误以为只是简单同义词于“impress”或“preoccupy”
- 在日常口语中滥用
- 忘记必须跟人搭配对象

语言思维差异
在中文语境中，先入为主的印象常通过成语或日常表达来传达，直接对应的单词很少用，学习者容易把它误解为‘先 impress’或直接的拥有关系。
