Do not confuse borrow and lend. You say that you borrow something from another person. However, if you allow someone to borrow something that belongs to you, you say that you lend it to them. Lend is often followed by two objects. Betty lent him some blankets... He lent Tim the money. Both borrow and lend can be used without objects. The poor had to borrow from the rich... Banks will not lend to them. The noun related to lend is loan. ...a government loan of £3m.Loan can also be used as a verb in the same way as lend, especially in American English. I'll loan you fifty dollars.
不要混淆 borrow 和 lend。借他人的東西用borrow...from..., 但借東西給他人則用lend...to...。lend後常接雙賓語:Betty lent him some blankets(貝蒂借給他幾條毯子),He lent Tim the money(他把錢借給了蒂姆)。borrow 和 lend 都可以不接賓語:The poor had to borrow from the rich(窮人不得不向富人借錢),Banks will not lend to them(銀行不會貸款給他們)。和lend相關的名詞是 loan: a government loan of £3m(一筆300萬英鎊的政府貸款)。loan還可用作動詞,其用法與lend相同,尤其是在美國英語中:I'll loan you fifty dollars(我會借給你50美元)。
