Question

employ v.雇佣；使用 (1) 你得雇个人监督这一工程。(2) 你认为我们为何要雇佣你?(3) 不同的画家会使用不同的绘画技巧。(4) 我们使用不同的保护措施来保护数据库。 The Latin source of employ is the word implicāre, which literally means to enfold or be connected with. This ties in with the verb employ, which is transitive and needs a direct object. (You can't just say "I will employ — you have to employ something.) The word also suggests using something for a specific purpose: you can employ someone for a job or find something in which to employ your own interests.
