💡专业提示

避免误用场合

在非正式对话中,用 *be enough* 或 *be adequate* 更自然(如 *Is $20 enough?*)。*suffice* 多用于书面或正式语境。

⚡黄金法则

句式结构

1. suffice (for sb./sth.):This will suffice for the project. 2. suffice to do sth.:A few words will suffice to explain the situation.

📖词源

中古英语 *suffisen*,源自古法语 *suffire*(=满足),由拉丁语 *sufficere*(=在下方放置)构成,其中 *sub-*(在下方)+ *facere*(做)。

📝用法说明

1. 通常用作不及物动词,后接介词短语(如 *suffice for sth.*)或不定式(如 *suffice to do sth.*)。 2. 正式用语,口语中较少使用。
