用法辨析
- assure是及物動(dòng)詞,可接名詞或代詞(不可接that從句)作簡單賓語。
- assure可接雙賓語,這時(shí)表物的賓語須由介詞of引出; 表人的賓語如置于表物的賓語后,則須由介詞to(而非for)引出,如置于表物的賓語之前,則不必搭配介詞。
- assure后接表物的賓語時(shí),可由that從句或動(dòng)詞不定式充當(dāng)。
- assure指“使……確信”,不是指“確信”,因此,在使用時(shí)要注意在前面加上助動(dòng)詞。I am assured of his honesty. 我確信他很誠實(shí)。I am assured that he is honest. 不可以直接說I assure his honesty。
- 涉及到“保險(xiǎn)”時(shí),我們習(xí)慣用insure,而不是assure,如insure her car。不過assure也有指“保險(xiǎn)”的意思,如assure her life指“為她保人壽險(xiǎn)”;
- 在指“確?!睍r(shí),ensure的用法比assure更加普遍。His work assured him a degree of happiness. 他的工作確保給他帶來了一定程度的幸福感。His work ensured him a degree of happiness. 第二句的用法更為普遍。
- Life assurance通常是指到了指定日期或死亡所支付的特定金額的保險(xiǎn),而insurance通常帶一定的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)性,若是在指定的日期內(nèi)沒有死亡,過了那個(gè)日期死亡的話,是不會(huì)得到保險(xiǎn)賠償?shù)摹?
v. (動(dòng)詞)
