二assure,ensure,insure与reassure词语辨析
assure,ensure,insure与reassure这四个单词可谓是形近意似,但用法却不无区别。
㈠ assure
▲assure用来表示向某人保证某事将要发生,既可以用来确证某事,也可以表示使某人确信(If you ASSURE a person of something,you promise them or tell them that)。assure的宾语通
常是人或人称代词,所以不能直接搭用that - clause。其常用结构为:assuresb.ofsth./as-。
①He assured us of his ability to solve the problem.他向我们保证他有能力解决这个问题。
②We booked early to assure ourselves of(getting)good seats.我们及早订座以保证我们能得到好座位。
▲assure后还可跟抽象名词作宾语,此时与ensure同义,表示确保。
①Weeks of practice assured /ensured success in the match.几个星期的训练确保了在比赛中获得成功。
②Nothing can assure permanent peace.没有什么能确保永久和平。
▲assure在英国英语中作为专业术语,可表示投人寿保险。 to insure /assure against death投保寿
险(life assurance /insurance人寿保险)
㈡ ensure
▲ensure的意思是使某行为或某件事的结果得以保证,即确保某事发生(to make sure that sth.happens)。ensure后可以直接跟 that-clause,并可以用复合宾语。常用结构为:ensure sth.
/ensure +that -clause /en-sure +obj.(i)+obj.(d)
①To ensure the child's quick recovery,the doctor gave him an antibiotic.为使这个孩子尽快恢复,医生给他打了一剂抗生素。
②Registration ensures delivery of mail.挂号寄邮件保证会送到。
▲ensure也可以表示确保安全,免遭伤害。 To ensure freedom against tyranny反对暴政,维护自由
▲在美语中ensure常拼写为insure。
㈢ insure 意思是为防不测向保险公司付钱投保(to pay money to an insurance company against future disaster)。
①My house is insured against fire.我的房子保了火险。
②Are you insured for all risks?你是不是给自己保了综合险?
㈣reassure 表示安慰忧虑不安的人,使其安心,放心,恢复信心(to comfort someone who is anxious and make him /her free from fear or wor- ry;to bring back confidence to...)。常用结构为: reassure sb.(about sth.)/reassure sb.+ that-clause
①I was worried that my work wasn't good enough,but the teacher reassured me(about it). 我担心我的作业不够好,可是老师却让我放心。
② The captain reassured the passengers about the strength of the ship. 那位船长向乘客保证船很坚固,要他们安心。
(sure/certian make sure/certain assure/ensure/guarantee)
assure,ensure,guarantee,insure,warrant都含有一定的\保证\之意
assure 表示向某人保证某事一定会发生(内含有让某人放心之意) assure sb. of sth /assure sb. that... ensure \确定,保证\确保某种行为一定会发生 ensure sth. /ensure that...
guarantee 对某事物的品质或人的行为\提出担保\对事物、商品等无质量,性能等方面的欺诈行为做出保证 insure \保险...\纯粹经济意义)
guarantee sb sth
这两个动词词形相似,有时都可译成“保证”,容易混淆。
Assure 的“保证”是“使??(人)深信”的意思,它的宾语是人。注意下面两种结构:
I assure you there is no danger. 我保证没有危险。 I assure you of his coming. 我保证他来。
Assured 可以用作表语,是“深信”的意思。例如:
I am assured that there is no danger. 我深信没有危险。
Ensure表示“保证”时,可以接that 从句作宾语,也可接双宾语。例如:
I can ensure that he will come at two o'clock. 我保证他两点钟来。 I cannot ensure you a good post. 我不能保证你能得好位置。
如果主语是物或事,通常用ensure, 也可以用assure。这时都可接双宾语。注意下列结构:
This medicine will ensure you a good night's sleep. 这药可以保证你好好睡一夜。 His ability will ensure success to him. 他的能力将保证他成功。 His ability will assure success to him. (同上)
试译:我保证他将成功。
误:I assure that he will succeed. 正:I assure you that he will succeed. 正:I ensure that he will succeed.
Assure 和 ensure 都不接不定式。如接不定式,应用guarantee.
