oblige(d)
1.oblige作“赐恩惠给…”解。例如:You will oblige me by calling at the office tomorrow morning.和Please oblige me by closing the window. obliged只指小事情,不指大事情,如不可说The party obliged me by supporting my family during my long illness。表示感激该用被动语态,obliged的一切结构跟indebted相同。参见indebted
2.and oblige是商业信函末尾的陈套语,oblige把下面的签名做宾语,所以后面不该用句号。例如:
Kindly look into the matter, and oblige
Yours very truly,
Henry A. Wilcox
这种用法现在比以前少见,在一般通信里该避免。
