| 释义 | 1．下面两句意思不同： He is sure to live to ninety. （他一定会活到 90 岁。） He is sure of living to ninety. （他自信可以活到 90 岁。） 下面各句里的不定式不可改作 of 和动名词： It is sure to be fine this afternoon. This plan is sure to succeed. Such a book is sure to prove popular. Be sure to tell me the particulars. 也有人用 be sure and ...而不用 be sure to ...。例如：Be sure and remember what I told you. 和 If you are ever in my part of the country, be sure and look me up. 2．I am not sure (about) where he lives 等句子里的 about 用的少，不用的多。 3．关于 sure 和 certain 的不同，参见 certain 3 4．关于 sure（副词）和 surely，有下面两点该注意： （1）sure 除了在 as sure as 和 sure enough 两种表达方式里以外，现在在英国可说是不用的。但在美国在口语里很普遍。例如： It sure was a cold night. A: Do you think she is French? B: Sure! 在英国这两句里不用 sure 而用 certainly。 （2）下面各句里的 surely 在英国作“谅必”或“当然”解，但在美国作“一定”解。在英国说“一定”用 certainly 或 undoubtedly： You surely do not know him. It is surely the first time that these two men have met. You surely don't wish to be so cruel, do you? You can do something to help him, surely. Surely something can be done to help him. Surely you're not going alone. Surely this weather can't last much longer. Surely it will clear up before long. 5．make sure 后面可以接以 that 引导的从句，那 that 往往省去。例如：They looked up and down the road to make sure (that) they were alone. 6．for sure＝for certain，作“毫无疑问地”解。例如：I can't say I know it for sure. |
