assure,ensure,insure与reassure的用法和区别

assure

assure用来表示向某人保证某事将要发生,既可以用来确证某事,也可以表示使某人确信(If you ASSURE a person of something,you promise them or tell them that)。assure的宾语通常是人或人称代词,所以不能直接搭用that引导的宾语从句。其常用结构为:assure sb.of sth.

①He assured us of his ability to solve the problem. 他向我们保证他有能力解决这个问题。

②We booked early to assure ourselves of(getting)good seats. 我们及早订座以保证我们能得到好座位。

assure后还可跟抽象名词作宾语,此时与ensure同义,表示确保。 ①Weeks of practice assured /ensured success in the match.几个星期的训练确保了在比赛中获得成功。

②Nothing can assure permanent peace.没有什么能确保永久和平。 assure在英国英语中作为专业术语,可表示投人寿保险。 to insure /assure against death投保寿险(life assurance /insurance人寿保险) ensure

ensure的意思是使某行为或某件事的结果得以保证,即确保某事发生(to make sure that sth.happens)。ensure后可以直接跟 that引导的宾语从句,并可以用复合宾语。常用结构为:ensure sth./ensure +宾语从句/ensure+宾语.

①To ensure the child's quick recovery,the doctor gave him an

antibiotic.

为使这个孩子尽快恢复,医生给他打了一剂抗生素。 ②Registration ensures delivery of mail. 挂号寄邮件保证会送到。

ensure也可以表示确保安全,免遭伤害。 To ensure freedom against tyranny反对暴政,维护自由

在美语中ensure常拼写为insure。 insure

insure 意思是为防不测,向保险公司付钱投保(to pay money to an insurance company against future disaster)。

①My house is insured against fire. 我的房子保了火险。

②Are you insured for all risks? 你是不是给自己保了综合险? reassure

reassure表示安慰忧虑不安的人,使其安心,放心,恢复信心(to comfort someone who is anxious and make him /her free from fear or worry;to bring back confidence to...)。常用结构为: reassure sb.(about sth.)/reassure sb.+宾语从句。

①I was worried that my work wasn't good enough,but the teacher reassured me(about it).
