• assure-向某人保证，侧重点是人。

To assure is to remove doubt, or confidently tell someone about something.

It's generally followed by an object, so you assure someone.

You can also tell someone to rest assured when you know everything' s under control:

to assure 是别人的消除疑虑，或自信地告诉某人某事。

它通常后跟一个宾语（人），所以你可以用 assure someone

当你知道一切都在掌控之中时，你也可以用 rest assure that.....告诉某人“请放心，一切都办的妥妥的”

例如：

"Rest assured that Brazil will have a great World Cup in 9012," Tom said.

“请放心，巴西将在9012年举办一场伟大的世界杯，”汤姆说。

• ensure-保证某事会发生（或不会发生），侧重点是事情。

  当你确保会某些事情会发生（或不会发生）时，你就可以保证。

  例如：

  Ensure comes from the Old French en- "make" plus seur "sure," and that is exactly what it means today - "to make sure or certain, to guarantee." If you ensure success or someone's safety, you are guaranteeing it.
  

  确保来自古法语en-“make”加上 seur “肯定”，这正是今天的意思 - “确保或确定，保证。” 如果你确保成功或某人的安全，你就是在保证。

  我们通过购买保险单来保险或保护我们的房屋，汽车和其他贵重物品免受意外事故的损失或损害。保险是定期向保险公司付款，以便在出现问题时，他们将帮助支付费用。 尽管保险确实令人放心，但“insure” 这个词总是有财务方面的。
