Subscribe

[s?b'skra?b]

vi. 認(rèn)購；贊成；簽署

Subscribe = sub-（下）+ -scrib-（寫，詞源同scribe，script）+ -e（動詞詞尾），即在合同下簽字，引申為“簽署、認(rèn)購、贊成”。

Subscribe作不及物動詞時，常見用法有subscribe to sth定期訂閱/捐款、同意贊成，subscribe for sth申購（股份）、預(yù)訂，比如subscribe to this newspaper（訂閱這份報紙）、subscribed to the view贊同該觀點、subscribe for shares/bonds認(rèn)購股票/公債。

我們來看2個例句：

A lot of people now subscribe to these theories.

現(xiàn)在許多人都贊同這些理論。

Employees subscribed for far more shares than were available.

雇員們申購了遠(yuǎn)比現(xiàn)有數(shù)額還多的股份。
