guarantees
词源解说
- 1670年左右进入英语,直接源自古法语的guarantie,意为保护。
用法辨析
- guarantee的意思是“保证,担保”,指对货物质量、人的品质或所承担义务的保证,也可表示担保某事必然会出现某种结果,含有不容置疑的意味。
- guarantee用作及物动词,后可接名词、代词、动词不定式或由that或疑问词引导的从句作宾语; 也可接双宾语; 还可接以动词不定式充当补足语的复合宾语。可用于被动结构。
- guarantee作名词时,指“保证”或“接受保证的人”,而guaranty指“作保”事实,也指“保证”,“保证书”。guarantee在使用上比guaranty来的普遍;
- 表示“保证人”时,一般用guarantor,不用guarantee或guaranty来表示;
- 注意不同语境下,guarantee表达的意思不同。I guarantee that he will pay on Friday. 我确信他会在周五付款。I guarantee that he shall pay on Friday. 我担保他在周五付款,若不付,我负责代付。
- guarantee后可接双宾语。This guarantees you the right to use the typewriter. 这个保证你有权利使用打字机。
v. (动词)
