Usage Note :

You can use find, find out, or discover to talk about learning that something is the case.The young child finds that noise attracts attention... He discovered the whole school knew about it... We found out that she was wrong.Discover is a slightly more formal word than find, and is often used to talk about scientific research or formal investigations. For example, you can discover a cure for a particular disease. You can also use discover when you find something by accident. This well-known flower was discovered in 1903. Note that if you cannot see something that you are looking for, you say that you cannot find it. You do not use 'discover' or 'find out' in this way. I'm lost – I can't find the bridge. You can also say that someone finds out facts when this is easy to do, but you cannot use 'discover' or 'find' in this way. I found out the train times.

find, find out 和 discover 均可用来指得知某一事实：The young child finds that noise attracts attention(这个小孩发现弄出声响可以吸引注意力), He discovered the whole school knew about it (他发现整个学校都知道了此事), We found out that she was wrong (我们发现她错了)。discover比find略微正式，常用于谈论科学研究或正式调查。例如，可用 discover表示找到治愈某种疾病的方法。discover 还可表示偶然的发现：This well-known flower was discovered in 1903 (这种著名的花卉是在1903年发现的)。注意，如果表示看不到正在寻找的东西，要用find, 而不用discover 或find out：I'm lost — I can't find the bridge (我迷路了——我找不到那座桥)。find out 还可表示很容易便发现事实的情况，而discover 和find 却没有这种用法：I found out the train times (我查到了火车时刻)。

13. PHRASE 找到正确的路(去某处);成功地到达 If you find your way somewhere, you successfully get there by choosing the right way to go. 

  • He was an expert at finding his way, even in strange surroundings...

    他是认路的行家，即使在陌生的环境中也是如此。
