Confer has two distinct senses. In its ceremonial sense, universities confer degrees, monarchs confer knighthoods, and treaties confer rights. In its deliberative sense, colleagues confer before reaching a decision. The first sense takes a direct object ('confer a degree on someone'), while the second is intransitive ('confer with colleagues'). Both senses are formal and appear in academic, legal, and institutional writing.

confer有两个不同的含义。在礼仪意义上，大学授予学位、君主授予爵位、条约赋予权利。在商议意义上，同事们在做出决定前进行讨论。第一个含义接直接宾语（'confer a degree on someone'），而第二个是不及物用法（'confer with colleagues'）。两种含义都是正式用法，出现在学术、法律和制度性写作中。

Confer tiene dos acepciones distintas. En su sentido ceremonial, las universidades confieren títulos, los monarcas confieren títulos nobiliarios y los tratados confieren derechos. En su sentido deliberativo, los colegas confieren antes de tomar una decisión. La primera acepción lleva complemento directo ('confer a degree on someone'), mientras que la segunda es intransitiva ('confer with colleagues'). Ambas acepciones son formales y aparecen en textos académicos, jurídicos e institucionales.

conferには二つの異なる意味がある。儀式的な意味では、大学が学位を授与し、君主が爵位を授け、条約が権利を付与する。協議の意味では、同僚が決定を下す前に話し合う。前者は直接目的語を取り（'confer a degree on someone'）、後者は自動詞として使われる（'confer with colleagues'）。いずれも格式の高い用法であり、学術・法律・制度的な文章に見られる。

수여하다·협의하다(confer)에는 두 가지 뚜렷한 의미가 있다. 의례적 의미에서 대학은 학위를 수여하고, 군주는 기사 작위를 수여하며, 조약은 권리를 부여한다. 심의적 의미에서 동료들은 결정을 내리기 전에 협의한다. 첫 번째 의미는 직접 목적어를 취하고('confer a degree on someone: ~에게 학위를 수여하다'), 두 번째 의미는 자동사이다('confer with colleagues: 동료들과 협의하다'). 두 의미 모두 격식체이며 학술적·법적·제도적 문서에서 나타난다.
