discover a cure for a particular disease. You can also use
discover when you find something by accident.

find it. You do not use '
discover' or 'find out' in this way.

discovered the whole school knew about it...(他发现整个学校都知道这件事了),The young child finds that noise attracts attention...(小孩子发现吵闹能吸引注意力),We found out that she was wrong(我们发现她错了)。
discover 比 find 稍正式,并常用于谈论科学研究和正式的调查。例如,可以用于表示发现治疗某种疾病的方法,还可以指偶然间的发现:This well-known flower was
discovered in 1903(这种著名的花是 1903 年发现的)。找不到某物用 cannot find somthing, dicover和 find out 则无此用法。如:I'm lost — I can't find the bridge(我迷路了,我找不到那座桥了)。find out 可以指弄清很容易就发现的事实,但
discover 和 find 则无此用法:I found out the train times(我查到了列车时刻表)。
