提高新加坡AEIS考试录取率,学会辨析enquire & inquire

发布于2017-07-06

  AEIS词汇和AEIS语法的重要性相信大家一定十分清楚,想要在新加坡AEIS入学考试中取得一个不错的AEIS考试分数,首先需要做的就是单词和语法过关,但是新加坡AEIS难度是不小的。为了提高考生们新加坡AEIS考试录取率,中国AEIS考试培训中心为大家深度辨析enquire & inquire。

  Both words derive from the Old French enquerre, from a variant of the Latin inquirere, based on quaerere 'seek'. The same root word can be seen in various modern English words, including acquire, require, conquer, quest, request, inquest, and question.

  这两个单词均源自法语词汇enquerre,来源于一个拉丁词汇inquirere的变种,基于词汇quaerere(寻求)。现代英语词汇的很多单词均来源于这个词汇,包括acquire(获得),require(需要),conquer(征服),quest(追求),request(要求),inquest(审讯),和question(问题)。

  Enquire和inquire这两个动词传统意义上的区别在于:Enquire的一般意义为“询问”,To enquire – to ask for information。Inquire的含义为“做正式的调查”,To inquire – to make a formal investigation。另外Query作为动词,表示“询问”,作为名词表示“疑问”。即To query – means to question, to ask a question about.

  In practice, however, enquire, and the associated noun enquiry, are more common in British English while inquire (and the noun inquiry) are more common in American English, but otherwise there is little discernible distinction in the way the words are used. Some style guides require that only inquire or only enquire be used.

  实际上,enquire和它的名词形式enquiry常用语英式英语中,而inquire和其名词形式inquiry则在美式英语中更为常见。这两个单词在使用方式上并无其他明显的差别。在一些特殊场合中会要求只使用inquire/inquiry或者enquire/enquiry。

  Every enquiry is very welcome.

  欢迎每条咨询。
