| 释义 | employ Employ is occasionally cited as a pretentious substitute for use. The two verbs are in fact often interchangeable, but employ is most appropriately used (or employed) when the conscious application of something for a particular end is being stressed: • Some there are ... who employ incomprehensible wording to confuse, impress, or dazzle the unsophisticated —Mary C. Bromage, Michigan Business Rev., July 1968 • ... his best poems employ ironically the conventions he rejects —Kenneth Fields, Southern Rev., April 1970 • ... will refrain from employing their military strength in new political power plays —Anatole Shub, Harper's, January 1972 |
