offer什么意思(报价、合同、生意提案)
供给、提供和供应的区别
offer、provide和supply都有“供给、提供”的意思,但在用法上有所不同:
- provide指有远见,为应付意外、紧急情况等作好充分准备而“供给、提供”,可用于provide sb. (with sth.)或provide sth. (for sb.)结构。
- supply通常指定期“供应”,强调替代或补充所需物品,常用于supply sb. with sth.或supply sth. to sb.结构。
- offer侧重表示“愿意给予”,含有主动供给之意,常用于offer sth. to sb 、offer sb. sth.或offer to do sth.、offer sth for sb结构,后不能接宾语从句。
用法示例:
provide
- He persuaded other people to provide money or to give help.

provide不如supply常用,但前者可跟双宾语,而后者无此用法。有时它们可互换,可说provide/supply sth. to sb.,也可说provide/supply sb. with sth。

support指支持或赞成,如 support your idea, 支撑或扶持,support by sb.。
