Attract

英國於5月30日推出「高潛質人士」簽證計劃,向全球招攬人才,吸引(attract)全球50大頂級學府的畢業生申請赴英工作。

動詞attract解「吸引」,可以指「引起注意、引起好感、招致批評」等等。例如,Although it was very hot yesterday, the parade still attracted huge crowds.(昨天雖然很炎熱,但是巡遊依然吸引了大批群眾。)I was attracted by his sense of humour and intelligence.(我被他的幽默感和智慧所吸引。)The company's sarcastic reply has attracted a lot of criticism.(那家公司諷刺的回應招來不少批評。)

改變字尾(suffix),可以將動詞attract變成形容詞attractive(誘人的、有魅力的)和名詞attraction(吸引力、有吸引力的地方)。例句︰I find him really attractive.(我覺得他很有吸引力。)One of the main attractions of this job is I get to travel all the time for free.(這份工作其中一個最吸引我的地方,就是我有很多機會免費去不同地方。)
