英语短语 "insurance against" 的核心含义是 “针对……的保险;防范……的风险保险”,用于表示为应对某一具体的风险、损失或不利事件而购买的保险保障。
"insurance" 是“保险”,"against" 在这里表示“抵御、防范”,因此组合起来强调保险的针对性——专门用来覆盖某种特定风险(如事故、疾病、灾害等)造成的损失。
"insurance against" 后接需要防范的风险/损失的名词(或动名词,但更常见名词),构成“防范X的保险”。
常与表示“购买/投保/拥有”的动词连用,如:
take out (购买/投保)
buy (购买)
have (拥有)
get (获得)
