問(wèn)題：這四個(gè)詞的區(qū)別

答：首先這樣出題有點(diǎn)無(wú)聊，在搞腦子。

解決問(wèn)題的辦法很多，如在百度上搜，請(qǐng)看鏈接：http://alana22.blog.163.com/blog/static/1241846902010322782462/

再看一下朗文字典的解釋

af‧ford S1 W3[transitive]

can/could afford[usually negative]

a) to have enough money to buy or pay forsomething

afford [to do] something

We can't afford to go on vacation thisyear.

I couldn't afford the rent on my own.

How can she afford to eat out everynight?

b) to have enough time to do something:

Dad can't afford any more time off work.

c) if you cannot afford to do something, youmust not do it because it could cause serious problems for you

afford to do something

We can't afford to wait any longer or we'll missthe plane.

藍(lán)色的字是用法 afford sth/afford to do sth,紅色的字（我特意標(biāo)注）是英文解釋，大家以后盡量看英文的解釋，少摻和中文，對(duì)你以后的學(xué)習(xí)有利。It is easy tounderstand , isn’t it?
