However, lure can also be used in a more informal, slightly humorous way, about a situation that is really not dangerous at all. * lure通常比entice贬义重,可能涉及骗某人陷入险境;entice指试图说服某人,常让他们做对自己有益的事。不过,lure亦可用于较轻松随意、略带幽默的场合,真实情况一点儿也不危险◆By careful management Jack had been lured away while the party preparations were made.通过精心安排,在准备聚会时,杰克已经被骗走了。■seduce sɪˈdjuːs; NAmEsɪˈduːs [transitive] (written) to persuade sb to do sth that they would not usually agree to do by making it seem very attractive诱骗;唆使◆The promise of huge profits seduced him into parting with his money.高额利润的许诺诱使他把钱交了出来。▸seductionsɪˈdʌkʃn
