ensure doing vs ensure to do

  • ensure doing 並非標準英文用法。動詞 "ensure" 後不直接接動名詞 (V-ing)。
  • 正確的結構是 ensure (that) + 子句,用來表示「確保某件事發生」。
  • 另一個常見結構是 ensure + 名詞 / 名詞片語,表示「確保某個事物」。
  • ensure to do 是常見的錯誤。應避免使用 "ensure to + 動詞原形" 的結構。 EN: We must ensure that all doors are locked before leaving. 翻譯: 我們離開前必須確保所有的門都已鎖上。

EN:The contract ensures timely delivery of the goods.

翻譯:這份合約確保了貨物的準時交付。

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Ensure"?Which "Ensure" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×I want to assure that the package arrives on time.

I want to ensure that the package arrives on time.

「assure」通常用於向某人保證某事(assure someone that...),而「ensure」則用於確保某個結果或情況發生。

×You should ensure your car against theft.

You should insure your car against theft.

「insure」專指購買保險以獲得財務保障,而「ensure」是指採取措施以確保某個結果。

×Ensure to check the details.

Ensure that you check the details. / Make sure to check the details.

「ensure」後面通常接「that」子句(that可省略),或直接接名詞,但不能接不定詞「to + 動詞」。「make sure」則可以接「to + 動詞」或「that」子句。

×This process will ensure.

This process will ensure accuracy.

「ensure」是及物動詞,後面必須有受詞(名詞或名詞子句),不能單獨使用。

×I can ensure you'll love this product.

I can guarantee (that) you'll love this product.

雖然意思相近,但「guarantee」更常用於商業或產品承諾,帶有強烈的「保證、擔保」意味,尤其當主詞是人或公司時。而「ensure」更側重於「採取措施以確保某結果」。

×We need to insure the quality of our service.

We need to ensure the quality of our service.

這是拼寫和用法混淆的錯誤。在非保險的語境下,想表達「確保」時應使用「ensure」。
