    1. 认识这个词(基础篇)

    词:enable

    英英释义:To make it possible for someone to do something, or for something to happen.

    例句:'One Word A Day' enables English learners to take a fresh look at the words that are overlooked.

    2. 体会这个词 (进阶篇)

    “enable”是及物动词,从词形可以看得出它由“en”和“able”两部分组成,意思是“让/使某人做某事,使......成为可能”。它经常可以用来替换同义词 let 和 allow,在口语和写作中都可以使用。

    比如,苹果的 AppleCare+ 服务可以让用户延长硬件保修时长,就可以说:

    AppleCare+ enables Apple customers to extend the one-year hardware repair coverage to up to two years.

    微信朋友圈让用户能够轻松分享自己的想法和生活,就可以是:

    WeChat Moments, a popular WeChat feature, enables users to share with their friends what they are up to and what is on their mind.(注意:“WeChat Moments”是“微信朋友圈”的英文名称,是专有名词,表示一个功能,所以谓语动词用了单三。)

    再比如,《经济学人》是这样解释社交网络是怎样帮助广告商做精准投放的:

    Social networks like Facebook and Twitter track people’s movements around the web and enable advertisers to reach users via tailored advertisements.

    3. 从认识到会用(作业)

    1)翻译下面的句子:

    雅思考试可以让考生知道他们的英语水平如何。

    IELTS enables the exam candidates to know their English  proficiency. 

    (参考翻译:IELTS enables examinees to get a sense of how proficient their English is. 或者:IELTS enables examinees/candidates to measure their English proficiency.)

    2)结合自己的生活、学习、工作、兴趣等,先想象在什么语境下会用到这个表达,然后再进行造句。

    清楚的写作让我们知道我们到底在想什么。

    Writing clearly enables us to perceive what we are actually thinking deep down in our heart.
