assure 和 ensure 可以互换
assure sb. that = 向某人(assure的宾语是人)保证……;ensure that = 确保……发生(ensure 无人宾语,宾语是事情/状态);若误用:「the committee ensured stakeholders」不正确(ensure 不接人作宾语再接 that)

⚠️ensure vs insure(拼写和含义均不同)

考考你
Q1对错判断
判断下面句子里 ensure 的用法是否正确:
The legislation is designed to ensure that all employers provide fair wages and safe working conditions.
ensure that 后接从句,主语是「立法」(政策/措施)——这是 ensure 最标准的用法;结构完全正确。
Q2近义选词
选择最恰当的词填空:
No educational system can ___ that every student will achieve their full potential, but it can create the conditions that make it possible.
Aensure
Bguarantee
✓ 没有任何教育体系能保证每个学生都能发挥全部潜力,但它可以创造使之成为可能的条件。
guarantee 含「绝对保证实现」的强语气,此句用否定形式(No system can guarantee)强调「教育无法做出绝对承诺」,但 can ensure 也可以;guarantee 在此语境中更强调「无法做出100%承诺」,语义更精准。
Q3翻译应用
用 ensure 翻译下面句子(可参考 writing_upgrade 字段):
要确保人工智能技术的发展不会加剧社会不平等,各国政府必须从现在起制定监管框架,而非等到问题出现后再做回应。
To ensure that the development of artificial intelligence does not exacerbate social inequality, governments must establish regulatory frameworks now, rather than reacting after problems emerge.
关键搭配:ensure that ... does not exacerbate
ensure that ... does not(确保……不会)是议论文「提出预防性政策建议」的核心结构;rather than reacting after(而非等……后再回应)是议论文「批评被动应对,呼吁主动预防」的经典对比句型。
