词义辨析

v. (动词)

supply, afford, give, provide

• 这四个词都有“给”“供给”“提供”的意思。其区别是：
• 1.afford指为一定的目的而“给”“提供”所需要的东西; give指无需偿还地把金钱、物品、时间、麻烦等有形或无形的东西“送给”“授予”“供给”某人; provide主要指为某人、某物或某事“提供”“供应”某物品,尤指生活必需品; supply指用物“供给”“供应”或“提供”给国家、群众、工厂、城市、市场等,以部队为对象时,往往只供给生活必需品,而不指武器。例如:
• Some trees afford resin. 有些树产树脂。
• I should like to give him a chance.我想给他一个机会。
• Now we supply power to nine-tenths of the city's homes.现在我们向这个城市十分之九的家庭提供电力。
• 2.afford后面可跟不定式或动名词,还常用在can, could, be able to后面表示“担负得起”某事物的费用、损失、后果等,以及“抽得出”时间、人力,其后可接双宾语,意思是“向某人提供某物”; provide后面可接for, with和against等介词; supply后可接介词to。例如:
• Our garden affords us fresh vegetables.我们的园子为我们提供新鲜蔬菜。
• More and more vegetables and fruit are supplied to the army.越来越多的蔬菜和水果供应部队。
• The programme aims to provide self-sufficiency for local needs.这项计划旨在使当地需要得以自足。

supply, equip, furnish, outfit, provide

• 这组词都可表示“提供必要的条件”。其区别是：
• 1.equip指装备某种仪器设备; furnish指用家具将房间布置起来; supply指提供不足或缺乏的东西; provide指提供必需和有用的东西。
• 2.用于人时, outfit指衣物的配备, equip指各种专门的物件的配备。
• 3.supply常用于定期的多次的供应,而furnish常用于一次性的供应。
• 4.在涉及金钱时, provide往往意味着“免费供给”,而supply则一般不含此意。
• 5.furnish可接双宾语,而provide和supply则不可接双宾语。
• 6.provide和supply都要与with连用来说明所提供的物品,即provide〔supply〕 sb with sth 或provide〔supply〕 sth for sb; supply后的for可用to替代,而provide后的for不可用to替代。

supply，provide

• 两者均可表示“供应；供给”，指对于缺乏或不足的事物进行补充或供给。
• supply常与to／for或with连用，其结构是：supply sth．to／for sb．或supply sb．with sth.
• provide常与for或with连用，其结构是：provide sth．for sb．或provide sb．with sth.

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 他们源源不断地给我们提供生活必需品。

   误 They supplied us the necessities of life in a steady flow.

   正 They supplied us with the necessities of life in a steady flow.

   析 表示“给某人供应某物”,可用“supply sb with sth ”结构, supply后的宾语是所提供的对象, with后接所提供的内容,不用“supply sb sth ”结构。

2. 政府答应向边远村庄供应电力。

   误 The government has promised to supply power for the distant villages.

   正 The government has promised to supply power to the distant villages.

   析 supply表示“供应”还可用于supply sth to sb/somewhere的结构,作“向某人或某地供应某物”解,这里介词to不能用for替代。

3. 公司可提供零部件作为替换物。

   误 The company can supply small parts with replacement.

   正 The company can supply small parts for replacement.

   析 supply作“供应”解时,还可用于supply sth for sth 的结构,表示“可提供某物作为(…用处或目的)”,这里介词for不能用with替代。

n. (名词)

1. 下星期我们这儿将到一批新鞋子。

   误 We shall be receiving new supply of shoes next week.

   正 We shall be receiving a new supply of shoes next week.

2. 请带大量食物来。

   误 Please bring large supply of food with you.

   正 Please bring a large supply of food with you.

   析 supply表示“具体的一批供应品”时,为可数名词,前面往往可加不定冠词a。 supply前带形容词修饰时尤为如此。
