英英释义：pay attention to someone's advice or warning
例句：We should heed the lessons of history.
2. 为什么选这个词？
“heed”是及物动词，意思是“留意、注意”，用法偏正式。heed 可以用来同义替换 pay attention to，避免用词过于单调，让表达更简洁。这个词的用法比较简单，下面我们来几个具体例子来掌握。
我们在表示后悔时经常会说“我真应该听某某人的建议”，就可以说：
I really should have heeded his advice. After all, he is more experienced and well-placed to offer insights.
我们经常说“以史为鉴”，就可以说：
We should heed the lessons of history.
或
We should heed history’s warnings.
这两句看起来非常简单，但很地道。
下面《经济学人》中这句话中也用了 heed：
The popular revolt that has gripped the country renders the French president’s words prescient, but also reflects advice to himself that went strangely unheeded.
“go unheeded”这个表达非常地道。我们常说“不听老人言”“左耳朵进右耳朵出”，都可以用 go unheeded。
下面来看《经济学人》中的几个例子：
1）For a start, they want to highlight the need to heed the warnings from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on what is required to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
2）What sermons business should and should not heed from a leftist pontiff.
3）All this should be a warning to governments everywhere. In most parts of the world there is a shortage of pain relief. But as governments expand access to drugs, they should heed the lessons from America.
3. 怎样学会使用这个词？
翻译下面的句子：
如果我们不从历史中吸取教训，我们就注定会吃亏。
（参考翻译：Unless we heed the lessons of history, we are doomed to repeat the mistakes. 或 If we fail to heed history’s warnings, we will be destined to fail.)
