- 不要把它简单理解成中性的“邀请”;它通常暗含有意引诱的一层意味。
📖 中文释义
verb
-
core 诱使;吸引📖 用好处、承诺或其他诱人的东西激起某人的欲望,使他靠近、参加或做某事;重点是对方被甜头吸引,而不是被强迫。💡 常用“entice someone to do something”表示“诱使某人做某事”,也可用“entice someone into something”表示“把某人诱入某种活动或处境”。用“with + 诱饵”说明吸引手段,用“by + 动名词”说明方式。它通常带有“引诱”的意味,因此不一定适合单纯、积极的邀请场合。transitiveThe discount enticed many shoppers to buy the new model.这项折扣诱使许多购物者买下了新型号。She enticed her dog into the house with a treat.她用一份零食把狗引进了屋里。
