先闹瞎看两个句子：
1）Leaders of that six countries had been trying to figure out what it is that makes the Kingdom of Qin developed so fast and so strong.
那六国的领导人曾经一直在竭力搞明白秦国发展迅速而强大的原因。
2）I could just make out a tall, pale, shadowy figure tramping through the undergrowth... 我只依稀看见一个高个的模糊身影穿过了矮树丛。液氏空
所以核稿 make out: manage with difficulty to see or hear sth clearly (强调视听觉上的)
I couldn't make out what is displayed on the screen, since I am standing too far from it.
figure out : understand/comprehend （强调思维、理解力上的）
例句 Can you figure out what that findings mean to us ?
