每课一词：新概念英语第1册第119课
接下来我们继续来看第119课的“每课一词”：
Lesson 119 A true story
Do you like stories? I want to tell you a true story. It happened to a friend of mine a year ago. While my friend, George, was reading in bed, two thieves climbed into his kitchen. After they had entered the house, they went into the dining room. It was very dark, so they turned on a torch. Suddenly, they heard a voice behind them. “What's up? What's up?” someone called. The thieves dropped the torch and ran away as quickly as they could. George heard the noise and came downstairs quickly. He turned on the light, but he couldn't see anyone. The thieves had already gone. But George's parrot, Henry, was still there. “What's up, George?” he called. “Nothing, Henry,” George said and smiled. “Go back to sleep.”

【源】
13世纪晚期进入英语，直接源自古法语的entreprise，意为“进取，从事”。

enter是动词，主要表示“进入”。如：

enter在计算机术语中常用作动词，表示“输入”。如：
