appropriate的用法讲解
Appropriate is an English word with several meanings. Generally, it is used to mean suitable or right for a particular situation. For example, “This dress is not appropriate for a job interview” means this dress is not right or suitable for a job interview.
It can also be used to mean taking something without permission. If you “appropriate” something, it means you take it without the permission of the owner.
It can also be used to mean to give or allocate something officially. For example, if you “appropriate money” for a particular project, it means you officially give or allocate money for that project.
Finally, it can mean to set aside something for a particular purpose. For example, “The government appropriated land for the building of a new hospital” means the government set aside some land for the building of a new hospital.
Therefore, “appropriate” can have several meanings depending on the context in which it is used.
