 su·per·in·tend /ˌsup(ə)rɪnˈtɛnd, ˌsupɚ/
 (vt.)(vi.)指揮,管理,監督

 Su·per·in·tend v. t. [imp. & p. p. Superintended; p. pr. & vb. n. Superintending.]  To have or exercise the charge and oversight of; to oversee with the power of direction; to take care of with authority; to supervise; as, an officer superintends the building of a ship or the construction of a fort.
    The king may appoint a council, who may superintend the works of this nature.   --Bacon.
 Syn: -- Superintend, Supervise.
 Usage: These words in general use are the synonymous. As sometimes used, supervise implies the more general, and superintend, the more particular and constant, inspection or direction. Among architects there is a disposition to use the word supervise in the sense of a general oversight of the main points of construction with reference to the design, etc., and to employ the word superintend to signify a constant, careful attention to all the details of construction. But this technical distinction is not firmly established.
