1. 認(rèn)識這個詞(基礎(chǔ)篇)
詞:enable
英英釋義:To make it possible for someone to do something, or for something to happen.
例句:'One Word A Day' enables English learners to take a fresh look at the words that are overlooked.
2. 體會這個詞 (進(jìn)階篇)
“enable”是及物動詞疼燥,從詞形可以看得出它由“en”和“able”兩部分組成萌衬,意思是“讓/使某人做某事,使......成為可能”焰情。它經(jīng)郴缍可以用來替換同義詞 let 和 allow燎潮,在口語和寫作中都可以使用蔑滓。
比如灰嫉,蘋果的 AppleCare+ 服務(wù)可以讓用戶延長硬件保修時長拆宛,就可以說:
AppleCare+ enables Apple customers to extend the one-year hardware repair coverage to up to two years.
微信朋友圈讓用戶能夠輕松分享自己的想法和生活,就可以是:
WeChat Moments, a popular WeChat feature, enables users to share with their friends what they are up to and what is on their mind.(注意:“WeChat Moments”是“微信朋友圈”的英文名稱讼撒,是專有名詞浑厚,表示一個功能,所以謂語動詞用了單三根盒。)
再比如钳幅,《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》是這樣解釋社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)是怎樣幫助廣告商做精準(zhǔn)投放的:
Social networks like Facebook and Twitter track people’s movements around the web and enable advertisers to reach users via tailored advertisements.
3. 從認(rèn)識到會用(作業(yè))
1)翻譯下面的句子:
雅思考試可以讓考生知道他們的英語水平如何敢艰。
IELTS enables examiners know which level their English is .
(參考翻譯:IELTS enables examinees to get a sense of how proficient their English is. 或者:IELTS enables examinees/candidates to measure their English proficiency.)
2)結(jié)合自己的生活钠导、學(xué)習(xí)、工作森瘪、興趣等辈双,先想象在什么語境下會用到這個表達(dá),然后再進(jìn)行造句柜砾。
場景:
造句:Phonomenal English enables me learn more about how to express myself better.
