借英语单词怎么读

ads


借东西是我们日常生活中经常有的一个举动。比如吃饭没带钱,问同事借点钱买单;下雨没带伞,再问同事借把伞。但是,你确定能用英语借“对”东西吗?


“借”的英语就是borrow吗? 


别忘了,它还有个截然相反的兄弟lend。



我们先来看两组例句:


Borrow -


Can I borrow a little money from you?

(我能从你这里借点钱吗?)


You are allowed to borrow six books from the library at a time.

(你一次可以从图书馆借走6本书。)


I borrowed his bike.

(我借来了他的自行车。)


Lend -


I lent my cellphone to Dave and I haven't got it back yet.

(我把手机借给大卫了,还没拿回来。)


The hospital agreed to lend us a wheelchair.

(医院同意借给我们一个轮椅。)


Can you lend me some money?

(你能借给我一些钱吗?)



其实borrow和lend的区别很简单。你不能只记“借”一个意思,还要分成“借入和借出”的区别。borrow是借入,lend是借出。


Lend shows that something is (temporarily) GIVEN TO another person.

Borrow shows that something is (temporarily) TAKEN FROM another person.

例:

I want to borrow your PC, but you don’t have to lend it to me.

(我想要借你的电脑用,但是你不必非得借给我。)


Why do you always want to lend me money? I don’t need to borrow money at all.

(你为什么老是要借给我钱?我根本不需要借钱用。)


You may borrow my book, which I would be happy to lend to you.

(你可以借我的书看,我很乐意借给你这本书。)



另外,在使用borrow和lend的时候还有些小的语法点要注意。


1. borrow和lend在现在完成时(have done)不能加上时间段,比如这样:

× I’ve borrowed a book from him since last week

√ I’ve borrowed a book from him / I borrowed a book from him last week


× I’ve lent Jack my phone since yesterday

√ I’ve lent Jack my phone / I lent Jack my phone yesterday


2. 表示借东西的期限时,可以加上介词“for”和时间,表示借入/借出东西之后预计多久还。

例:

I can lend you ten thousand dollars for 3 weeks.

(我能借给你一万美元,3个星期后还。)


I’ve borrowed a car from John for one month.

(我从约翰那借来了一辆车,一个月后还。)


Could you lend me a pen for a while?

(你能把笔借给我用一会吗?)
