assure是及物動(dòng)詞,可接名詞或代詞(不可接that從句)作簡(jiǎn)單賓語(yǔ)。
assure可接雙賓語(yǔ),這時(shí)表物的賓語(yǔ)須由介詞of引出; 表人的賓語(yǔ)如置於表物的賓語(yǔ)後,則須由介詞to(而非for)引出,如置於表物的賓語(yǔ)之前,則不必搭配介詞。
assure後接表物的賓語(yǔ)時(shí),可由that從句或動(dòng)詞不定式充儅。
assure指“使……確信”，不是指“確信”，因此，在使用時(shí)要注意在前麪加上助動(dòng)詞。I am assured of his honesty. 我確信他很誠(chéng)實(shí)。I am assured that he is honest. 不可以直接說(shuō)I assure his honesty。
涉及到“保險(xiǎn)”時(shí)，我們習(xí)慣用insure，而不是assure，如insure her car。不過(guò)assure也有指“保險(xiǎn)”的意思，如assure her life指“爲(wèi)她保人壽險(xiǎn)”；
在指“確?！睍r(shí)，ensure的用法比assure更加普遍。His work assured him a degree of happiness. 他的工作確保給他帶來(lái)了一定程度的幸福感。His work ensured him a degree of happiness. 第二句的用法更爲(wèi)普遍。
Life assurance通常是指到了指定日期或死亡所支付的特定金額的保險(xiǎn)，而insurance通常帶一定的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)性，若是在指定的日期內(nèi)沒(méi)有死亡，過(guò)了那個(gè)日期死亡的話，是不會(huì)得到保險(xiǎn)賠償?shù)摹?
