關於Support的意思和用法的提問

A: We're always here to support you.

Everyone needs support sometimes.

Will you support me if something happens?

What football team do you support?

A: only with your continued support can we do this!

A: "I will support you no matter what."

A: Help is a very active action: when you help someone you might join in with what the person is doing or do the action for them instead.

For example: when helping someone to carry something, you might hold their bags with them or even carry the bags for them.

When helping a couple with marriage problems, you might intervene in their arguments and sit down to have long discussions with both of them.


Support is more of a passive action: when you support someone you don't really do the action for them, but you encourage or motivate or do something that benefits the person so that this person can carry out the action by themself more effectively or successfully.

For example, when a parent supports their child that is at university, they might send them money and food so that their child can live and study more comfortably. (But the parent doesn't come and 'help' them write their essays)

When supporting your favourite sports team, you might cheer them on really loudly at a game to encourage them and motivate them to play better. (But you don't suddenly join in the game and 'help' them to play)

A: ah ok ... no, no se usa el "to" porque está equivocado, también.

"I support my dad." = correcto

Por ejemplo, si digo:

Quiero apoyarte para que superes esta situación.

En inglés, es:

I want to support you so you can get over this situation.

A: To support is to help out, to get involved.

A cheer is a shout of encouragement.

I'm rooting for you means "I'm on your side", "I hope you win"

A: The root meaning of support is to hold up. For example the wall supports the ceiling. So when one person supports another person, they are helping them to stay up, financially or otherwise.

Assist is a general term that means to help, in any way.

A: Support and back can be used in the same way.

I will support you.

I will back you.

Also, they both have other separate meanings which are not the same.

見守ることが親のsupport。子供が欲しい物を全て与えることは必ずしも良いことではないけど、子供がやりたい事をsupportできる環境作りはなるべくしてあげたい。

A: 請到提問詳情頁確認

A: She appealed for his support. She appealed to him for his support.

A: I think you just have to change a little bit. I am satisfied with living in my current home. The rest is perfect.

A: Support is usually used with people. "I will support your decision."

But if you are talking about something like construction, with an object holding up another object, you could say, "these poles support the house."

A: say "the continous support" or "your continuous support"

A: "I appreciate all the support everyone gave me this year" sounds more natural. Using 'all' twice is redundant, so you should say 'everyone' instead of that second 'all'. :)

Alternatively, even just "I appreciate the support everyone gave me this year" would be fine - 'the support' already sounds like it's talking about all of the support, not just parts of it. But the 'all' emphasizes that there was a lot of it.
