furnish

“Furnish” 是一个动词,主要有两个含义。其一是提供或供应,常用来指提供某种服务、商品、信息等。其二是装饰、布置,特别是指用家具装饰或布置房屋。

  1. Can you furnish us with the necessary information? (你能为我们提供必需的信息吗?)
  2. The apartment is furnished in a modern style. (这栋公寓是用现代风格装饰的。)
  3. They agreed to furnish the needy families with food and clothes. (他们同意为有需要的家庭提供食物和衣物。)

“Furnish”源于拉丁词根”fornix”,意思是“拱形的”,延伸出来的词义是“供应”、“装饰”。

“Furnish”没有前缀或后缀,它是个基本词。

“Furnish”最早是指建筑的装饰,特别是罗马建筑中的拱形结构,后来含义扩展,用于指代为房子提供家具、装饰等。

“Forms”: Furnished(past tense), Furnishing(present participle), Furnishes(third person)

你可以把”furnish”和“furniture” (furniture就是家具的意思)关联起来,用家具来装饰或布置房间就是”furnish”。

Jane just moved into a new apartment and it was an empty space. She decided to furnish it with comfortable leather sofas, and a large dining table. Now, it feels like home. (简刚搬进了一间新公寓,那是一个空洞无物的空间。她决定用舒适的皮沙发和一张大餐桌进行布置。现在,它已经像个家了。)
