BBC Learning English: 本期节目讲解了英语中与"structure"搭配使用的动词。结构良好的事物具有结构，反之则缺乏结构。为了避免缺乏结构，我们可以创建或设计合适的结构，这可以用动词"devise"来表达。例如，我们可以"devise a structure"来帮助我们处理繁重的工作。然而，如果需要付出很多努力或面临阻力，我们则会强加一个结构，这可以用动词"impose"来表达。例如，新教练努力在团队中"impose a structure"以阻止他们继续输球。总而言之，"devise"强调的是主动创建和设计，而"impose"则强调的是强加和施加，两者在语境和含义上有所不同。在英语学习中，如果你的学习缺乏结构，你可以尝试"devise"一个适合自己的学习结构来帮助自己。
