讲解:
【词源解说】
直接源自古英语的macian；最初源自西日耳曼语的makojanan。
【语法用法】
make后接不定式时的用法：用在make+宾语+动词的不定式中时，动词前面不能加to，这时是“使、让某人（或某物）做”的意思。
I made her cry.
我让她哭了。
make在被动用法中，动词前必须要加上to。
She is made to repeat the whole story.
她被要求重述一遍整个故事。
但是如果make是单纯“制造”的意思，to不能省略。
He made our shoes to last.
他把我们的鞋做的结实耐穿。
另外，在谤语里make的宾语后面的不定式的to也不可省略。
Money makes the mare to go.
有钱能使鬼推磨。
