lend vs borrow

英文原文:
Georgina
I'm Georgina from BBC Learning English. Have you ever thought about the difference between 'lend'?and 'borrow'? They are both verbs but they're used in different ways.
'Lend'?means 'to give something to someone' generally for a short time. For example: The bank lent me some money.?
If you want to say who you lent something to, you can use the preposition 'to'.?I lent my mobile phone to James.?Oh no! I forgot my pen. Can you lend me a pen?
'Borrow'?means 'to ask someone for something'. Oh no! I can't read this.?Can I borrow your glasses?
If you want to say who you borrowed something from, you can use the preposition 'from'. For example:?I borrowed a book from the library.
Oh, I'm late!?I need to borrow a laptop from Sam for my meeting?– got to go!

喬治娜: 我是來(lái)自BBC Learning English的喬治娜。你有沒(méi)有想過(guò)“借出”和“借入”之間的區(qū)別?這兩個(gè)動(dòng)詞都是動(dòng)詞,但用法不同。
“借出”意為“將某物借給某人”,通常是短期的。例如:“銀行借給我一些錢(qián)?!比绻阆胝f(shuō)你把東西借給了誰(shuí),你可以使用介詞“to”。我把我的手機(jī)借給了詹姆斯。哦,不好了!我忘記帶筆了。你能借我一支筆嗎?
“借入”意為“向某人請(qǐng)求某物”。哦,不好了!我看不清這個(gè)。我能借用你的眼鏡嗎?如果你想說(shuō)你從誰(shuí)那里借了東西,你可以使用介詞“from”。例如:我從圖書(shū)館借了一本書(shū)。
