vocabulary简明 A quote is a passage of speech or writing that’s repeated word for word. If a journalist is interviewing you and you blurt out something inappropriate, you will have to ask them not to quote you on that.
vocabulary扩展 As a verb, to quote means to repeat someone’s words, attributing them to their originator. If you’re giving a speech on personal organization, you might want to quote Ben Franklin in it — he’s the master. When you write out a quote, you put the other person’s words in quotation marks (“Aha!”). Sometimes a price estimate is called a quote, like when a mechanic looks at your engine and gives you a quote for the cost of repair.
