lend vs borrow

英文原文：

Georgina
I'm Georgina from BBC Learning English. Have you ever thought about the difference between 'lend' and 'borrow'? They are both verbs but they're used in different ways.

'Lend' means 'to give something to someone' generally for a short time. For example: The bank lent me some money. 
If you want to say who you lent something to, you can use the preposition 'to'. I lent my mobile phone to James. Oh no! I forgot my pen. Can you lend me a pen?

'Borrow' means 'to ask someone for something'. Oh no! I can't read this. Can I borrow your glasses?
If you want to say who you borrowed something from, you can use the preposition 'from'. For example: I borrowed a book from the library.

Oh, I'm late! I need to borrow a laptop from Sam for my meeting – got to go!

乔治娜： 我是来自BBC Learning English的乔治娜。你有没有想过“借出”和“借入”之间的区别？这两个动词都是动词，但用法不同。

“借出”意为“将某物借给某人”，通常是短期的。例如：“银行借给我一些钱。”如果你想说你把东西借给了谁，你可以使用介词“to”。我把我的手机借给了詹姆斯。哦，不好了！我忘记带笔了。你能借我一支笔吗？

“借入”意为“向某人请求某物”。哦，不好了！我看不清这个。我能借用你的眼镜吗？如果你想说你从谁那里借了东西，你可以使用介词“from”。例如：我从图书馆借了一本书。

哦，我迟到了！我需要向萨姆借一台笔记本电脑参加会议——我得走了！
