| 释义 | generate (once / 72 pages) 1v 2v Generate means produce or create. A good stock pick might generate cash, and a good idea might generate the basis for an Oscar-winning film.

In a hydroelectric power plant, water generates power. And you can get a paper route or babysit if you're looking to generate a little income.
