com(来come)+promise(许诺):通常女孩都要男孩来承诺，男孩只能 妥协 共同(com)许诺(promise)才能 妥协{你给我一个许诺，我给你一个许诺就妥协了} 网友：yqy 补充：com共同，promise承诺：即来妥协的 网友：yqy补充： 【同】consist,make up,compose,constitute,form,comprise 【辨析】: consist,consist of为其固定搭配，其主语常为表示整体意义的名词，意为“（整体）由（部分）组成”。不能用于被动语态，也不可用进行时态。 make up,动词词组，可用于主动和被动两种语态。在主动语态中，主语应为表示局部意义的名词，表达“（部分）构成（整体）”的意思。在被动语态中，主语为表示整体意义的名词，必须用被动结构be made up of，相当于consist of的含义。 compose,及物动词，意为“构成；组成”，常用其被动形式be composed of。与consist， make up 不同，此处构成“整体”的“部分”主要指抽象的“成分；元素”，或者是物质的“化学成分”。 constitute,及物动词，其用法和意义与compose相似，但比较正式。 form,及物动词，意为“构成；组织；建立”，指形成一个组织、委员会、公司等并使其发挥作用。此外，它还有“（自然）形成……”的意思。
