v.(動詞)

afford的基本含義是“充足”,指“有足夠的錢買某物”“有足夠的財力或時間做某事”,也可以表示“經受得起”; 引申可表示“提供”“給予”。

afford表示“有足夠的錢買某物”時, afford可以接物作賓語,也可以接“to buy sth ”作賓語,前者可看作是省略to buy的句型,前者較后者更常用些。

afford表示“有足夠的財力或時間做某事”。afford的賓語可以是time(一般不省略),也可以是expense,還可以是time and money,但一般不單獨用money。

afford還可作“經受得起”解,可用于財政狀況,健康狀況或者形象、聲譽等,其賓語一般為動詞不定式或表示動作的名詞,不接反身代詞作賓語。

afford作“提供”“給予”解時,屬正式文體,指自然產生或法律上的后果,多接雙賓語,其后的直接賓語多為抽象名詞。其主語可以是人,也可以是物或事物,其間接賓語可轉化為介詞to的賓語。

afford多用于疑問句或否定句,常與can, could, be able to等連用。用于否定句時,意思是“經不起(發生某事或做某事)”,含盡力“避免發生”或“避免做”的意味。

afford不用于進行體和完成體,作“買得起,花得起,經得起”解時不用于被動結構。

v.(動詞)

afford, give, provide, supply

這四個詞都有“給”“供給”“提供”的意思。其區別是：

1.afford指為一定的目的而“給”“提供”所需要的東西; give指無需償還地把金錢、物品、時間、麻煩等有形或無形的東西“送給”“授予”“供給”某人; provide主要指為某人、某物或某事“提供”“供應”某物品,尤指生活必需品; supply指用物“供給”“供應”或“提供”給國家、群眾、工廠、城市、市場等,以部隊為對象時,往往只供給生活必需品,而不指武器。例如:

Some trees afford resin. 有些樹產樹脂。

I should like to give him a chance.我想給他一個機會。

Now we supply power to nine-tenths of the city's homes.現在我們向這個城市十分之九的家庭提供電力。

2.afford后面可跟不定式或動名詞,還常用在can, could, be able to后面表示“擔負得起”某事物的費用、損失、后果等,以及“抽得出”時間、人力,其后可接雙賓語,意思是“向某人提供某物”; provide后面可接for, with和against等介詞; supply后可接介詞to。例如:

Our garden affords us fresh vegetables.我們的園子為我們提供新鮮蔬菜。

More and more vegetables and fruit are supplied to the army.越來越多的蔬菜和水果供應部隊。

The programme aims to provide self-sufficiency for local needs.這項計劃旨在使當地需要得以自足。

v.(動詞)汽車之貴,非富戶不敢問津。
