- 进阶篇
“suffice”是“sufficient”(足够的)的动词形式,是个不及物动词,可以使我们的表达更加简洁有力。当我们想表示“足够”或者“不足够”的时候,除了用 sufficient, enough 外,也要想到可以用动词 suffice 表示。
比如如果你刚刚开始跑步,先跑上 10 分钟,然后做些伸展运动就可以了:
For beginning runners, a 10-minute jog and a few stretches will suffice.
仿写:For beginning basketball players,20 miles' Running per day will not suffice.
只读万卷书也是不够的,我们还要付诸于实践。这时就可以说:
Extensive reading alone does not suffice. We have to, too, put what we read into practice.
仿写:Daily reciting beautiful passages does not suffice. We have to, too, make sentences accordingly.
我们在举例的时候,想表达“只用一个/两个例子就可以说明某事”时,也会用到 suffice。比如我们想说,只用马云的例子就可以证明颜值和财富并没有很大关系,就可以这样用 suffice:
A single example will suffice: Jack Ma.
仿写: A single fact will suffice: the rising rent.
3.实践篇
翻译:
对于高阶英语学习者来说,每天学一个词是不够的。

场景:通常写个便条或打个电话就足够了。
