1.认识这个词(基础篇)


词:suffice

英英释义:to be enough


例句:Good ideas alone do not suffice.


2. 体会这个词 (进阶篇)


“suffice”是“sufficient”(足够的)的动词形式,是个不及物动词,可以使我们的表达更加简洁有力。当我们想表示“足够”或者“不足够”的时候,除了用 sufficient, enough 外,也要想到可以用动词 suffice 表示。


比如如果你刚刚开始跑步,先跑上 10 分钟,然后做些伸展运动就可以了:


For beginning runners, a 10-minute jog and a few stretches will suffice.


只读万卷书也是不够的,我们还要付诸于实践。这时就可以说:


Extensive reading alone does not suffice. We have to, too, put what we read into practice.


我们在举例的时候,想表达“只用一个/两个例子就可以说明某事”时,也会用到 suffice。比如我们想说,只用马云的例子就可以证明颜值和财富并没有很大关系,就可以这样用 suffice:


A single example will suffice: Jack Ma.


3.从认识到会用(作业)


1)对于高阶英语学习者来说,每天学一个词是不够的。

A new word a day will not suffice for the advanced learners.

(参考翻译:For advanced English learners, a word per day does not suffice. )

场景:早餐

造句:A loaf of bread and a glass of milk will suffice my breakfast.
