care facility
I have to give the care facility my name to make the payment.
I have to give the care facility my name to make the payment. (I have to give the care facility my name to make the payment)
意思:
👉 我必须把我的名字告诉护理机构,才能付款。
重点:care facility
care facility = 护理机构 / 护理中心
这里的 facility 很常见:
facility = 设施;场所;机构
在这里不是简单的“设施”,而是指一个提供护理服务的机构/场所。
例如:
nursing facility
护理机构 / 养老护理中心
give someone something
give the care facility my name
不是:
❌ 给护理机构我的名字(中文虽然能理解,但英语结构值得注意)
而是英语中的:
give + 人 + 东西
= 把某物提供给某人
所以:
give the care facility my name
= 把我的名字提供给护理机构 / 告诉护理机构我的名字
类似:
Give me your phone number.
把你的电话号码给我。
I gave the receptionist my name.
我把我的名字告诉了前台。
to make the payment
make a payment
= 付款 / 进行支付
注意英语通常说:
make a payment
而不是简单说:
❌ do a payment
所以:
I have to give the care facility my name to make the payment.
可以很自然地理解为:
“我得把名字告诉护理机构,这样才能完成付款。”
这里 to make the payment 是 to + 动词 表示目的:
to make the payment
= 为了付款 / 以便完成付款。
