喜樂美語
  1. 1vC1/ˈæləkeɪt/ · /ˈælækeɪt/分配；撥給

    to decide to give money, time, space, or other things to a person, group, or purpose, especially after an official decision.

    示範例句 · Example

    You should allocate the same amount of time to each question.

    逐字你應該分配相同數量的時間給每一題。

    「allocate」是正式決定「有限的錢、時間、空間或資源」要給誰、要用在哪裡。常見句型：allocate something to somebody／something（撥給某人／某處）、allocate something for something（撥作某用途）、be allocated something（被分到某物）。核心畫面可以想成「桌上只有固定份量，有權的人正式劃分」——比 give 更像「按計畫分配」。跟 assign 比：assign 多派人／派任務；allocate 多撥錢、時間、資源。跟 distribute 比：distribute 是把東西發給很多人；allocate 是先決定各人／各用途拿多少。

core核心畫面

Picture one fixed pot — a budget, a morning, a row of seats — and someone with the authority to say which slice goes where. The pot does not grow: every hour written next to one job is an hour the other jobs will not get. That is why the word turns up in budgets, and official letters rather than in everyday giving.

可以想成一個總量固定的池子——一筆預算、一個上午、一排座位——以及一個有權決定「哪一塊分給誰」的人。池子不會變大：寫在某件事旁邊的每一小時，就是其他事拿不到的一小時。這也是為什麼這個字多半出現在預算表、時程表和公文裡，而不是日常的「給你」。
