用法筆記

The structure 'perceive + noun + as + noun/adjective' is the most common pattern for this sense. The passive form is very frequent in formal writing and news reporting.

People perceive him a threat.
People perceive him as a threat.
💡The preposition 'as' is required when describing the opinion you hold about someone or something.
I perceive to leave early.
I perceive that I should leave early.
💡'Perceive' cannot be followed directly by a to-infinitive in the active voice; use a that-clause or 'perceive + noun + to-infinitive' in passive.

用法筆記

This sense overlaps with 'notice', 'detect', and 'sense' but is more formal. Unlike sense 1 (FORM OPINION), this sense is not used with 'as' to introduce an interpretation.

常見錯誤

I perceived him as walking away.
I perceived him walking away.
💡The 'as' structure belongs to the FORM OPINION sense, not the NOTICE SENSES sense.
