We cannot too strongly inculcate (or It would be impossible to over-estimate)

the importance of more teacher training to deal with student problems and

 prevent teenage suicides in Hong Kong.

The importance of the campaign against dogs in public housing estates in

Hong Kong cannot be exaggerated.

Do you know how to service this new-type machine?

你知道怎样维修这种新型的机器吗?

------------------------------------------------------------

 这一句不能译作:"你知道怎样使用这台新型的机器吗?" 如要表达此义,应该说:

   Do you know how to seve this new-type machine?

 在现代英语里,出现了一种用名词作动词的倾向.例如:

to paper one's room; to bottle the fruit; to bandage up a wound;

 to oil a machine; to position a factory near the town; to pressure him to do so

等等. 然而, 某些名词作动词使用时, 与原有动词的涵义有所不同,

上面所述的to service和to serve的区别就是一个典型的例子.试对比下列各组词的不同涵义:

 to power    为...提供动力

 to empower  为...授与权力

 to site     为...提供场所

 to situate  位于; 处于

 to package  给...打包装箱(美语)

 to pack     给...包装

 to loan     贷款

 to lend     出借;出租

 to decision 根据积分评定
