2. 体会这个词 （进阶篇）

“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.
