assurʹable adj.（形容词）assurʹer n.（名词）- Assure, ensure, and insure all mean "to make secure or certain.” Onlyassure is used with reference to a person in the sense of "to set the mind at rest": Assure,ensure 和 insure 都指“使稳固或有把握。” 只是assure 用来指人，有“使某人放心”的意思： assured the leader of his loyalty. 使领导确信他的忠诚。
- Althoughensure and insure are generally interchangeable, onlyinsure is now widely used in American English in the commercial sense of "to guarantee persons or property against risk.” 虽然ensure 和 insure 在一般情况下可以互换， 现在只有insure 广泛用于美国英语中，商业中意指“给人或财产保险以防意外。”
