1. 两者都可表示“借”,但是 borrow 指“借入”,而 lend 则指“借出”,两者其实是一对反义词,而不是同义词。如:
Can I borrow your bike? 我可以借用你的自行车吗?
I never lend books; you never get them back. 我的书决不外借,因为总是有去无回。
Some people neither borrows nor lends. 有的人既不借也不贷。
2. 从句型上看,lend 可接双宾语,即可用于 lend sb sth,该句型也可说成lend sth to sb。如:
She lent him some money. 她借给他一些钱。
She lent some money to him. 她借给他一些钱。
这样用的 lend 有时还可用于被动语态。如:
You were lent ten thousand pounds last year. 去年借给你1万英镑。
但是注意,borrow 不能接双宾语
