figure和figure out是我和我的学生在写英文论文时常用的词汇，这两者都可以表示"计算"，但是两者在延伸含义和用法上存在着不同，具体如下：
一：含义解释
figure 英 [ˈfɪɡə(r)] 美 [ˈfɪɡjər] n.图形;数字;数字符号 v.是重要部分;是…的部分，推算
figure out 英 [ˈfɪɡə(r) aʊt] 美 [ˈfɪɡjər aʊt] 解决;算出;想出;理解;断定
相同点：两者都可用于表示"计算"。
不同点：figure多指对事物进行计算的结果；figure out 指的是算出,想出,理解的意思。
二：用法区分
“figure”：figure多用于对事物计算的结果，作为名词第三人称单复数同行。
“figure out ”：figure out是动词后接副词的结构，如果宾语是代词，只能放中间。
三：典型例句
1、figure
——It did not figure high on her list of priorities.
这没有列入她最优先考虑办理的事项。
——Last year's sales figures are illustrated in Figure 2.
图2显示了去年的销售数字。
——This year's sales figures go beyond all our expectations.

2、figure out

我们可以想出一个最好的解决问题的方案。
