问题描述
The machine is still under warranty. 这台机器仍在保修期内。
It’s still still under guarantee, so the manufacturer will repair it. 它还在保修期内，所以厂家会给修理的。
问题一：两句中的 under warranty 和 under guarantee 均表示“在保修期内”，它们有区别吗？
问题二：撇开under warranty 和 under guarantee 这两个短语，单独使用的 warranty 和guarantee 有区别吗？
谢谢老师！
老师答疑
付老师：
▲guarantee （《剑桥高级学习词典》）
a promise that something will be done or will happen, especially a written promise by a company to repair or change a product that develops a fault within a particular period of time.
The shop said they would replace the television as it was still under guarantee.（《剑桥高级学习词典》）
▲warranty （《剑桥高级学习词典》）
a written promise from a company to repair or replace a product that develops a fault within a fixed period of time, or to do a piece of work again if it is not satisfactory.
The car is still under warranty. （《朗文当代》）
▲从以上可以看出，guarantee 与 warranty作“保修；保修证书”解时是同义词，under guarantee 与 under warranty 也均表示“在保修期内”。
