文字稿
Hi, everyone! Today's English In A Minute is all about the words assure, ensure and insure. They're often confused because they sound very similar.
To assure means 'to remove any doubt'.
It's followed by an object pronoun. For example:
My friend assured me that he would come to the party.
To ensure means 'to make sure that something happens'.
This verb is not followed by an object pronoun. For example:
I called the bakery to ensure the cake would be ready for the party.
To insure means 'to protect something with an insurance policy'. For example:
I insured my car against theft.
用法總結(jié)
1.?動(dòng)詞 “assure” 用來(lái)表達(dá) “（為消除疑慮）向……保證”，后面接賓語(yǔ)代詞，以表明向誰(shuí)保證。
I assured him that the package would arrive on time.
She assured me that the work would be done properly.
2.?動(dòng)詞 “ensure” 的意思是 “確保（某事會(huì)發(fā)生）”，后面不接賓語(yǔ)代詞，而是直接說(shuō)明事件。
I ensured the package arrived on time by delivering it personally.
She ensured the work was done properly by hiring the best workers.
3.?動(dòng)詞 “insure” 的意思則是 “給……上保險(xiǎn)”。
I insured my house against fire and burglary.
The sales person advised me to insure my new computer.
