| 释义 | inure, enure The spelling inure is found much more often than is the variant enure. Inure , when used with a preposition, almost always takes to, whatever its meaning: • Inured to television and radio, that audience is accustomed to being distracted —Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited, 1958 • Americans have become inured to red meat, well tabascoed —Anthony Burgess, Saturday Rev., 3 Feb. 1979 • ... the treatment therein of corporate income taxes is bound to inure to the benefit of the profession — Jour, of Accountancy, February 1945 • ... such an identity of interest between the taxpayers that a refund to one will inure to the benefit of the other —William T. Plumb, Jr., Harvard Law Rev., December 1952 Inure, however, has also at times been followed by against or with: • ... we have learned, too, that museums can inure us against the reality of function —Leonard Kriegel, Change, March-April 1969 • ... those people still inured with gentler passions — George W. Bonham, Change, October 1971 Enure when used with a preposition in its meaning "habituate" is usually used with to, in much the same way as inure is used. The variant enure in this sense is found more often in British than in American use: • ... the jungle odour renders it difficult for anyone, not enured to it, to complete the tour —Osbert Sitwell, Escape with Me!, 1939 • ... a people that is by now enured to crises —The Economist, 9 Aug. 1947 Enure, in its sense "accrue," has a more complicated pattern of usage than does inure. As shown above, inure in both senses is used with to. Enure, when meaning "accrue," is used with to or for in British English and usually with to in American English: • ... like all fair bargains, it should enure to the benefit of both sides —The Economist, 28 June 1947 • ... even though they enure not for the company's benefit but for that of the secretary himself — Palmer's Company Law, 22d ed., 1976 • The grant does not convey power ... which can enure solely to the benefit of the grantee —John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824 |
