アシュア (B2)
English: Assure
カタカナ: アシュア
IPA: /əˈʃʊər/
Definition
Assure means to tell SOMEONE something with confidence — to remove their doubts.
'I assure you, the package will arrive tomorrow.' (telling you with confidence)
'She assured him that everything was fine.' (told him confidently to remove his worry)
KEY: Assure ALWAYS has a person as its object. You assure SOMEONE.
Distinction from ensure / insure:
Assure = tell a PERSON something is true (focus: person + their confidence)
Ensure = make CERTAIN that something happens (focus: an outcome)
Insure = buy INSURANCE for something (focus: financial protection)
意味: assureは「（誰かに）保証する・安心させる」という意味です。相手の不安や疑いを取り除くように、自信を持って何かを伝える行為を表します。
I assure you, the package will arrive tomorrow.（明日荷物が届くと保証します）
She assured him that everything was fine.（彼女は彼に全て大丈夫だと安心させた）
重要：assureの目的語は必ず人。assure SOMEONE（誰かを保証する）の形。
ensure / insureとの区別：
assure = （人に）何かを保証する・安心させる（焦点：人・その確信）
ensure = （結果が）確実に起こるようにする（焦点：結果）
insure = 保険をかける（焦点：金銭的保護）
Examples / 例文
彼は私に何も問題ないと保証してくれた。 — He assured me that there was no problem.
ご安心ください、必ず納期を守ります。 — I assure you, we will meet the deadline.
