Subscribe
[səb'skraɪb]
vi. 認購;贊成;簽署
Subscribe = sub-(下)+ -scrib-(寫,詞源同scribe,script)+ -e(動詞詞尾),即在合同下簽字,引申爲“簽署、認購、贊成”。
Subscribe作不及物動詞時,常見用法有subscribe to sth定期訂閱/捐款、同意贊成,subscribe for sth申購(股份)、預訂,比如subscribe to this newspaper(訂閱這份報紙)、subscribed to the view贊同該觀點、subscribe for shares/bonds認購股票/公債。
我們來看2個例句:
A lot of people now subscribe to these theories.
現在許多人都贊同這些理論。
Employees subscribed for far more shares than were available.
僱員們申購了遠比現有數額還多的股份。
