用法讲解

v. (动词)
  1. engage的基本意思是“约定”,即凭借契约、誓言或诺言等约束人或事。用于约束别人,即表示“雇”“聘”; 用于约束自己,则表示“许诺”“保证”。这种允诺可信,有约束力,并将履行一段时间,如“订婚”等。引申可表示“占用,吸引,引起”或“使忙于,使从事”等。
  2. engage主要用作及物动词,接名词、代词作宾语。作“雇,聘”解时可以接以as短语充当补足语的复合宾语。作“保证”解时可接for+名词或that从句,也可接oneself+to- v 构成的复合结构。
  3. engage接介词in可表示“参加”; 接介词with可表示“交战”; 表示“订婚”则接介词to。
  1. engage表示“使某人订婚”，be engaged to sb表示“跟某人订婚”。

    When did he become engaged to her?
    他跟她什么时候订婚？

  2. 不加介词时engage表示“雇佣”的意思；
  3. be engaged in和engage in的比较：一般来说，两者意思相似，不过前者强调状态，后者强调行为。但在表示一时的行为时，两者有所不同。

    He is engaged in a game of tennis.
    他现在从事于打网球。

    He engages in a game of tennis every morning．
    他每天早晨忙于打网球。

v. (动词)
engage, hire
  • engage和hire都可表示“雇用”。其区别在于:

  • We hire out vans by the day.我们的货车按日出租。
  • I've engaged him as my new assistant.我已聘他为我的新助手。

  • He engaged a lawyer to argue his case in court.他请了一位律师来为他出庭辩护。
  • 3.engage所指的雇用时限一般较长,而hire可指短期雇用。例如:

  • He engaged a new secretary.他聘用了一名新秘书。
    • engage, contract, covenant, pledge, promise
