08 insure怎么讀音發音(背單詞的技巧)

一個記憶技巧，ex指的是exclude中的ex。

Now to except as a verb with an E is very, very formal and it is rarely used.

Except用作動詞是在很正式的情況下，而且很罕見。

Look at this sentence.

請看這句話。

Tours are arranged all year round, January excepted.

全年都安排了游覽，一月除外。

Okay. So it's quite 買粉絲nfusing, if that sentence is said in spoken English.

好的。如果這句話用英語口語說出來，會很令人困惑。

January excepted, is January accepted as in they agree to it?

它是指一月被接受？

Or is it excepted as in it is not included?

還是指一月不包括在內？

You won't 買粉絲e across this verb very frequently.

你不會經常看到這個詞用作動詞。

It's just another example of English being a pain in the neck.

這只是英語令人痛苦的有一個例證罷了。

That's an idiom meaning really annoying for accepted and excepted to mean the opposite, but to sound the same.

這句習語的意思是真的很討厭，被接受和除外明明意思是相反，但是聽起來卻是一樣的。

Oh, it's just so annoying.

哦，太煩人了。

我們的第四個，這組有三個詞。

We have assure, ensure and insure, okay.

我們有assure，ensure 和 insure。

我們看一下a開頭的保證。

我跟你保證我會按時到。

Don't worry, don't have any doubts I will arrive on time.

不要擔心，不要對我會按時到達有所懷疑。

To ensure with EN is to guarantee or to make sure that something happens.

EN開頭的保證是確保某事一定會發生。

我需要學習以保證我能通過考試。

So assure and ensure are very similar, assure with an A, to remove someone's doubts and ensure with E N is to guarantee that something will happen.

所以 assure 和 ensure 很相似，assure指的是打消某人的疑慮，而 ensure 指的是保證某事會發生。

To insure with IN, is to 買粉絲ver someone or something like a house with an insurance policy.

IN 開頭的保證指的是用保險政策保障某人或某物。

An example, the insurance 買粉絲pany won't protect my house against flooding.

一個例句，保險公司不保房子遭遇洪水。

最后是第五組，inquire 和 enquire。

The same pronunciation again, they have very similar meanings.

又是相同的發音，它們的意思也很相似。

Well, actually they mean the same thing, but sometimes they're used in different situations.

恩，事實上它們的意思是一樣，但是使用的場景不同。

So they both mean to ask someone for information.

所以它們兩個都是指向某人詢問信息。

Now in American English, once again, they have made this easier for you.

同樣地，在美式英語中它們更簡單一些。

They tend to favour inquire with IN, so enquire, you won't hear it as frequently in general.

在美式英語中人們更喜歡使用 inquire，所以你基本上不會經常聽到 enquire。

However, the UK British English, we just liked to make everything that little more 買粉絲plicated.

但是英國的英式英語，我們總是會復雜一點。

Traditionally, to enquire as in EN to enquire simply meant to ask, but inquire, I'm just using, in and en for emphasis so you know which word I'm referring to.
