單字講座 19：allocate (v) / locate (v)
http://www.learnerhall.org/2021/11/19allocate-v-locate-v.html
教學時，我們常看到學生在特定單字群組使用上抓不到訣竅。這也促使我們決定在本站招牌的「文法講座」外，再加開「單字講座」，目標自然是要讓大家學得快，又學得好 😊😊😊😊
be allocated to sb for sth：為了 ... 分配 ...
▶ 例 1：他討厭分配工作。他希望永遠都不需依賴其他人來完成他的工作。
He hated allocating jobs. He wished he never had to depend on other people to complete his work.
▶ 例 2：我們將我們獲利的百分之 10 分配給這個機構，讓他們在我們做生意的社區裡推行環保活動。
Ten percent of our profits is allocated to the institution for carrying out environmental projects in the communities where we do business.
▍locate (v) 找出 … 的位置 / 位在 …
be located in …：位在 …
▶ 例 1：藉由看地圖，我才能找出古墓入口的位置。
By consulting the map, I was able to locate the entrance to the ancient tomb.
▶ 例 2：我的學校位在公園路上，延伸兩個街區的距離，介於14街和16街之間。
My school is located on Park Road, stretching a two-block distance between Fourteenth and Sixteenth streets.
結論：allocate「分配」不是 locate「找出 … 的位置 / 位在 …」，兩者大不同唷。
