Question

appropriate adj.适当的；相称的vt.占用；拨出(款项) (1) 在适当的时候将把详情告诉你。(2) 选择与你漂亮的体型相称的服装是不容易的。(3) 政府拨出了一些款项用作教育基金。 The adjective appropriate is used when something is suitable or fitting. It comes from the Latin appropriare, which means "to make something fit, to make something one's own." Going back even further, appropriate is related to the Latin word proprius, "to belong to a person, thing, or group." Another appropriate way to use this word is as a verb, meaning to steal or seize something, the way you'd appropriate your sister's sandwich if she left it sitting near you.
