  ensure

  Ensure is a transitive verb meaning to make certain or guarantee. To ensure is to make sure that something will (or won t) happen or be the case.

  Ensure是及物动词,意思是确定或保证。To ensure意为确保某事会(或不会)发生。

  The sunscreen I applied ensures that I will not burn.

  我涂的防晒霜能确保我不会晒伤。

  To ensure that we don't run out again, I ordered more food.

  为了确保我们不会没吃的,我准备了更多的食物。

  What makes ensure different from the other words is that we only ensure events or states of being; we don't ensure things. This means that we ensure that we can get time off from work, but we don't ensure our car.

  ensure与其他词的不同之处在于,我们只确保存在的事件或状态;我们不能ensure事物。这意味着我们可以确保我们能上班时请假,但我们不能ensure我们的车没有问题。

  insure

  to provide compensation if a person dies or property is damaged

  如果一个人死亡或财产受损能赔偿损失

  Insure is also a transitive verb meaning to protect oneself financially by insurance.

  Insure也是一个及物动词,意思是通过保险在经济上保护自己。

  The company insured itself against losses by diversifying.

  该公司通过多样化经营来避免损失。

  Is your car insured for the full amount?

  你的汽车投保全额了吗?

  Unlike ensure, which applies to events, insure applies to things. So we insure our house, our car, and our business.

  不像ensure,确保的对象是“事件”,insure保护的是“事物”。所以我们为我们的房子、汽车和生意投保。

  A good way to remember ensure is that it has two “e’s” in it, just like guarantee does. To ensure is to guarantee.

  ensure这个单词里有两个e,就像guarantee这个单词一样。Ensure(确保)就是guarantee(保证)。

  You can remember insure because it deals with finances and underwriting risks. You generally do this taking out an insurance policy. Both words start with insur.

  Insure,因为它是处理财务和承保风险的一种方式,通常需要购买保险(insurance)。这两个词都以insur开头。
