第十一词:Afford
意思是买的起,付得起、花得起时间、金钱、精力等。但是Afford只能表示能力,不表示意愿。例如我们可以说I'm willing to pay, but I really can't afford it,而不能说I'm willing to afford it。
用好这个词,我们的水平就会提高一个档次,让你的同学打心底里佩服。
1、这顶帽子贵得也太离谱了,我买不起。This hat is so expensive that I can't afford it.
2、这个村子里好多儿童都上不起学。
Plenty of kids in this village can't afford to go to school (can't afford education).
3、抱歉,我跟你玩不起。
I can't afford to play 'games' with you, sorry.
这100词到底要写多长时间,我也不知道。现在工作太忙了所以我还得慢慢写,I can't afford to lose my job, because I'm the bread-winner and I have a big family to support.
