Afford,Provide,Supply的辨析
Afford,provide,supply 这三个动词都表示“提供”、“供给”。在涉及到金钱时,provide 往往意味着tongue的音标“免费供给grow的过去式”,而 supply 则一般不含此意。这两个词都不用双宾语,而要与 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,provide 后的for不可用to替代。如:
译:发电厂为我们供电。

正:The power station supplies us with electric power深圳化妆培训学校.
正:The power station supplies electric power for / to us.

误:l was very plead with the room you provided to me.
正:I was very plead with the room you provided for me.
till 正:I was very plead with the room you provided me with.
Afford 一般只用于抽象事物、与上两词不同,afford 后可接双宾语;与上文 supply 相同,可用 afford sth to sb.的句型。如:德语翻译成中文
