A verb that has multiple definations, 'determine ' is equal to 'identify', 'unwavering' is one of its implication.

But you are using it as an adjective here.

 

[schenvan]

Determined sphere=given sphere, or identified

But you are using it as an adjective here.

Yes, -ed particale work as adjective.

 

[laox888]

Yes, -ed particale work as adjective.

If we agree that you are using the past participle as an adjective, then it is a simple matter of looking up some dictionaries for "determined" under adjective and see if it has meaning other than unwavering.

Here are what some of the more well-known dictionaries say about this word as an adjective:

Cambridge:
determinedadjective
US /dɪˈtɜr·mənd/
showing the strong desire to follow a particular plan of action even if it is difficult:
a very determined young man
She had a determined look on her face.
[ + to infinitive ] I’m determined to finish this book today.

Oxford:
determined


ADJECTIVE

• 1Having made a firm decision and being resolved not to change it.
  with infinitive ‘Alina was determined to be heard’
  
  More example sentences
  Synonyms
  1. 1.1 Possessing or displaying resolve.
     ‘Helen was a determined little girl’
     
     ‘a determined effort to reduce inflation’

Longman:
de‧ter‧mined /dɪˈtɜːmɪnd $ -ɜːr-/ ●●○ W3 adjective 1 having a strong desire to do something, so that you will not let anyone stop you Gwen is a very determined woman.determined to do something She was determined to win.determined (that) He was determined that the same mistakes would not be repeated.2 showing determination, especially in a difficult situationdetermined attempt/effort She was making a determined effort to give up smoking.

If You learn your linguistics that way, I am afraid it'll be way less efficient and misled, I used this word in the way that I encountered numerous times when I read during eork or entertainment . It is always practice that goes ahead of the lexicon, honestly speaking, nowadays I usually don't learn words and expressions from lexicon works, rather, I obtain abundance of linguistic activities from actual work and practice, and that is the besy mantor.

Actually I have been learning English the same way as you do, but for this discussion I am just showing you what the dictionaries say about the word as a adjective. If you prefer, you can show us a few examples from the Web to justify the way you are using it. I am all ears.

 

[schenvan]

The past particle as adjective You abstracted from Cambridge and Oxford, as I assume, is the vi, as determine with the meaning of strong desire is intransitive as a verb, but determine as a transitive verb, has another meaning as following :
to conclude or ascertain, as after reasoning, observation, etc.
Apparently, I used the passive voice as adjective, which is commonplace in practice.

If You google, You will have tons of them, such like determined group(does't mean group being resolved), determined area, detetmined value, etc.

Linguistics has Its rule that practice justfies and overide everything. Language is growing and evolving so constantly that it'll be challenging to catch a phrase if We live in seclusion long enough.Language won't stand along out of Its habitat.

其实心态最重要了，少数的人除了真的超长牛的人到任何地方都很牛。
大多数人都是自认为很牛，这个心态调整不好，到时候会非常失落......
坛子里博士硕士多了去了......又有几个在做本专业工作很是相关专业工作的呢？？？

希望楼主调整好心态，祝一切顺利！！！

理工科的做相关专业工作的不少，文科就只能呵呵了。

Why don't you ask 10 people at your office what "a determined group of people" means.

看了很多人回复，首先我表示感谢。
阅览了跟帖了之后，我发现很多的是议论英语多一些，偏颇一些。
首先我的博士文凭不是国内大学学的，在欧洲正规大学拿到写了475页的毕业论文，其学历文凭是欧洲教育机构认可的； 再，我一直不在国内生活，所以是否“华人英语”的担忧就免了吧。我很清楚人在异地为异客，光英语好不是绝对优势，落地加拿大肯定还是得有一个过渡期，所以问问先辈。
再，跟帖中有的人嘲弄华人说英语，其实大可不必。我走遍世界跟很多人说过英语，感觉中式英语比印加大陆的还是容易懂一些的。再说了英语对于非英语的人来说都是第二外语，就像外国人唧唧呀呀地嚼着中文，我们哈哈一，大方收下。 为什么对我们自己的人说英语不能以宽容之心，大方放过呢。别自己人的英语较真嘛。一点拙见不成意思。

英语再好，也就是让你能和本地高中生找工作的站在同一起跑线上而已，在欧洲呆了那么长时间的更应该明白，这根本谈不上任何优势，无非就是不占劣势而已。想找到工作，更重要的是专业能力，人际网络，和运气，没错，运气都比英语重要很多。

没错，而且我们有时还会犯一些这边小学生都不会犯得错误。
中文语法太简单，和西语系语法不搭，这不是我们的错。
逼急了，我让他们学中文试试？

您认为此处determined value 的意思不是特定值的意思
您好像认为determined 只有一种意思就是决心的， 我认为还有其他意思，因此举此例子证明。

 

[schenvan]

刚刚问过还没有睡觉的本地人，我说得没错。

Why don't you ask 10 people at your office what "a determined group of people" means.

刚刚问过没有睡的本地人，我说得没错，但是他会倾向于用certain group, determined group 也make good sense,您可以问一下您的同事20个人。

你最好回去问你同事，A determined group of people 是啥意思。

老外经常是这样的，客气。就好像我上面说is也行，只是客气点好接受，考试只能一个对。
