enable

英英释义: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.


“enable”是及物动词,从词形可以看得出它由“en”和“able”两部分组成,意思是“让/使某人做某事,使......成为可能”。它经常可以用来替换同义词 let 和 allow,在口语和写作中都可以使用。


比如,苹果的 AppleCare+ 服务可以让用户延长硬件保修时长,就可以说:

AppleCare+ enables Apple customers to extend the one-year hardware repair coverage to up to two years.


微信朋友圈让用户能够轻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”的英文名称,是专有名词,表示一个功能,所以谓语动词用了单三。)


再比如,《经济学人》是这样解释社交网络是怎样帮助广告商做精准投放的:

Social networks like Facebook and Twitter track people’s movements around the web and enable advertisers to reach users via tailored advertisements.
