HELP In British English people sometimes distinguish between enquire and inquire, using enquire for the general meaning of 'ask for information' and inquire for the more particular meaning of 'officially investigate'. 在英式英语中，人们有时会区分 enquire 和 inquire 的用法，用 enquire 表示一般意义上的询问、打听，用 inquire 表示特别意义上的探究、查询、调查◆I called to enquire about train times. 我打电话询问火车时刻表。◆A committee will inquire into the allegations. 一个委员会将调查这些指控。However, you can use either spelling in either meaning. In American English inquire is usually used in both meanings. 不过两种拼写用于两个意思均可。在美式英语中，通常两种意思均用 inquire。 ●enˈquire after sb(formal) to ask for information about sb, especially about their health or about what they are doing 向某人问好（或问候）●enˈquire into sthto find out more information about sth 调查；查究；查问 SYN investigate ◆A committee was appointed to enquire into the allegations. 一个委员会已受命调查这些指控。●enˈquire sth of sb(formal) to ask sb sth 向某人打听（或询问、了解）◆(+ speech) 'Will you be staying for lunch?' she enquired of Charles. “留下吃午饭好吗？” 她向查尔斯问道。
