摘自Little Brown Handbook
as, than
In comparisions, as and than may be followed by either subjective- or
objectvie-case pronouns: You are as tall as he(subjective). They
treated you better than him(objective). The case depends on whether
the pronoun is a subjective or objective of a verb: I love you more
than he (loves your). I love you more than (I love) him.
assure, ensure, insure
Assure means "to promise": He assured us that we would miss the
traffic. Ensure and insure are often used interchangeably to mean
"make certain", but some reserve insure for matters of legal and
finiancial protection and use ensure for more general meanings: We
left early to ensure that we would miss the traffic. It's expensive to
insure yourself against floods.
