重点讲解
一.issue：n.议题, 问题, 期刊号, 一次发行额, 发行, <律>子女 v.发表, 公布, 正式发给, 发行, 流出
【语法用法】
issue作动词“发行，发放”时，可用issue sth to sb或issue sb sth。
The authorities issued clothes and shoes to them.
可与介词with连用，如issue sb with sth，但这种用法应尽量避免。
错句举例与错句分析
错句: British Rail are issuing their staff with new uniforms.
订正: British Rail are issuing new uniforms to their staff.

分析: “向某人发放某物”多用issue sth to sb或issue sb sth，尽量避免issue sb with sth的用法。
