Borrow 是借进、拿过来,是把本不属于自己的东西拿过来暂时使用。在英语中相当于 take。
Lend 是借出、给出去,是把本属于自己的东西给别人暂时使用。在英语中相当于 give。
从这两个词的意思上看是很容区分的,但在实际使用中却是非常容易出现错误。请看下面例句:
你能借我你的铅笔吗?
Can you borrow me your pencil?
我能借你的铅笔吗?
Can I borrow your pencil?
以上两句话哪个是正确的呢?如果仔细分析,会发现第一句是错误的。然而,在实际中,这种错误却是经常发生,你是不是也中过招呢?中招的原因就是我们汉语的意思都有“借”,而且都习惯说“借给”, “谁借了谁的,谁借给了谁”,大脑中总摆脱不了“借”这个词,这就是在说英语时总想到“借=borrow”,所以就总想到用 borrow 而想不到用 lend 了。
为了避免这种错误的频繁发生,以及更深入地理解和使用好 Borrow 和 Lend 这两个词,我整理出了一系列的练习句子,完全可以通过这一系列的句子,来逐渐摆脱中文思维的干扰,而逐步培养锻炼出英文的思维能力。
下面请体验。(为了更有益于英文思维的培育,这一系列例句不做中文翻译。)
