喜樂美語

You can think of 'aid' as one simple idea worn two ways: help — something extra that you bring in to make a hard task easier or to carry someone who is struggling. As a noun it is the help itself (or the thing/money/person that gives it); as a verb it is the act of giving that help. Whether it's an aid (a tool), aid (relief money), or to aid (to assist), the centre is always: lend support so the thing gets done.

可以把 aid 想成同一個念頭穿了兩件衣服：幫忙——你額外帶進來、讓難事變容易、或撐住正在吃力的人的那份支援。當名詞時，它就是那份幫助本身（或給出幫助的那個東西、那筆錢、那個人）；當動詞時，它就是「去給出這份幫助」的動作。不管是一件 aid（輔助工具）、一筆 aid（救援款）、還是 to aid（協助），中心都一樣：搭一把手，讓事情成得了。
