作为动词, appropirate有两种含义。意思是拿别人的东西给自己用。通常他们在不知情或未经许可的情况下服用。示例: My designs were appropriated by a plagiarizer. (我的设计被剽窃了。) 例子: Don't appropriate other people's work. Always ask for permission.它还意味着为特定目的花费或分配资源或金钱。我的意思主要是消极的方式。这笔钱被非法或以错误的方式使用。示例: The company appropriated 10 % of its budget for marketing projects. (公司将其预算的 10% 用于营销项目。) 示例: The investigation discovered that the president appropriated public funds for his personal use. (调查发现总统挪用公款供个人使用。)
