prompt 作为动词表示“促使”“推动”“引起”,是个高频词汇,英英释义:to cause something to happen or be done
例句:
①比如丑闻曝光导致一家公司的首席执行官立刻辞职,我们就可以说:
The scandal prompted the immediate resignation of the company’s CEO.
② 我们想说“某事引发热议”时,这里的“引发”除了用常见的 cause, lead to 外,还可以用 prompt,比如:
The mass shooting prompts a heated debate on gun control.
③ 最新一期的《经济学人》中就出现了 4 次 prompt 的这种用法,我们看其中两个句子:
1)The disastrous drought prompted government action to restore the river.
2)An attack by JEM in September 2016 killed 19 Indian soldiers,prompting Mr Modi to send special forces across the line of control.
