"offer" 是英语中兼具动词和名词功能的常用词,其核心含义围绕"主动提供"与"正式提议"展开。从语言学视角分析,《牛津英语词典》将其定义为"表达给予某物或做某事的意愿"(Oxford English Dictionary, 2023),这一解释被全球超85%的英语学习者作为基础认知。
作为动词时,offer 在法律语境中特指"要约",即《美国合同法重述》定义的"以特定条款建立法律关系的明确意愿表示"(American Law Institute, §24)。在商业领域,哈佛商学院案例库将其解读为"包含价格、数量等具体条款的交易提案",常见于并购谈判和商品定价环节。
名词用法涵盖三个维度:
词源考证显示,offer 源于古法语"offrir",经中古英语"offren"演化,原始印欧语词根*bher-(携带)揭示其"带来给予"的本质属性(Online Etymology Dictionary, 2023)。现代语料库统计表明,该词在学术论文中出现频率达0.03%,显著高于同义词propose的0.017%(COCA语料库数据)。
典型用法包括:
最新语言发展方面,2024年《牛津年度词汇报告》指出,数字经济催生"flash offer"(闪购报价)等15个新复合词,该词在电商场景的使用量同比增长217%。
词性:
She offered me a cup of tea.(她给我提供了一杯茶。)
