Suffice vi.

suffice [səˈfaɪs] : to be enough

例句：

1) Good ideas alone do not suffice.

当表“足够”或“不足够”，除用sufficient, enough，也可用更简洁有力的动词suffice。

如果你刚刚开始跑步，先跑上 10 分钟，然后做些伸展运动就可以了：

2) For beginning runners, a 10-minute jog and a few stretches will suffice.

只读万卷书也是不够的，我们还要付诸于实践。

3) Extensive reading alone does not suffice. We have to, too, put what we read into practice.

在举例的时，表达“只用一个/两个例子就可以说明某事”时，也会用到 suffice。比如我们想说，只用马云的例子就可以证明颜值和财富并没有很大关系，就可以这样用 suffice：

4) A single example will suffice: Jack Ma.

译：对于高阶英语学习者来说，每天学一个词是不够的。

我的版本：For advanced English learners, a word a day does not suffice.

参考翻译：For advanced English learners, a word per day does not suffice.

场景：每日晨读
