2018年6月英语四级词汇讲解:afford

  来源: 英语四级  更新时间:

  I really can't afford any more interruptions right now.

  四级词汇讲解:

  afford本义为“给予;买得起”,引申开来可以表示“承受”,如本句中的cannot afford就相当于“不能承受”。

  英语四级考点归纳:

  afford的用法十分灵活。如:

  ※ I can't afford to play game with you, sorry.抱歉,我跟你玩不起。

  ※ Plenty of kids in this village can't afford to go to school(=can't afford education).这个村子里的很多小孩都上不起学。

  ※ I'm too busy to afford an hour for lunch.我太忙了,抽不出一个小时吃午饭。
