主动性进取心倡议举措
陷阱
⚠️take initiative vs. take the initiative:泛指 vs. 特指
She always takes the initiative to organize team activities.
take initiative 和 take the initiative 意思完全相同
take the initiative(加定冠词)是固定短语,表示「在某具体情境下率先行动」;take initiative 则表示泛泛的「具有主动性」这一品质。高考和日常更多见带 the 的形式
她总是主动组织团队活动。(在具体情境中率先行动 → take the initiative)
⚠️initiative 不能用 initiate 代替表达「倡议(名词)」
The school launched a new initiate to improve student well-being.
(误)学校发起了一项新的启动来改善学生健康状况。
initiate 是动词(启动);名词「倡议」用 initiative
The school launched a new initiative to improve student well-being.
学校发起了一项新倡议,以改善学生健康状况。
