let sb.do sth.和make sb. do sth.的区别

问题描述

The ship circled around a made star called Mars, and his space friends ____ Ralph understand that this was their home.

A. let  B. made

答案：B

老师let 和made这两个动词后面都是接do sth.都表示“让某人做某事” 请问他们的区别在哪里？这题我选的是A，所以不明白为何let不能用呢?

十分感谢。

老师答疑

刘老师：

let和make的句型相同，都是：let/make somebody do something，只是意思有别。前者带有“许可”之意，后者带有“使令”之意。或者说，前者有请求而被“允许”，后者无请求而被“强制”。

let的含义是：If you let someone do something, you give them your permission to do it.

make的含义是：If you make someone do something, you force them to do it.

They let me enter the house. 意思是，我请求进入房子，他们允许了。

They made me enter the house. 意思是，不管我愿意不愿意，他们使我进入房子。
