| 词组 | engage |
| 释义 | 1．engage 是“使……订婚”，不是“跟……订婚”，说“跟……订婚”通常用被动语态。例如：When did he become engaged to her? 注意 engaged 后面用 to。He engaged himself to her 也可以说。注意不可说 He engaged her，这句作“他雇用（或聘请）她”解。 2．He was engaged to be married to her 和 They were engaged to be married 都合乎习惯。 3．下面每组里的两句意思相仿，但第一句着重在状态，第二句着重在行动： 但对于一时的行为，be engaged in 和 engage in 颇有不同。如 He is engaged in a game of tennis 是“他现在从事于打网球。”He engages in a game of tennis 似乎讲不通，He engages in a game of tennis every morning 才对。He often（或sometimes，或seldom，或never）engages in a game of tennis 也可以说。 |
