borrowing

borrow指往里借，比如may i borrow your book?

i borrowed a book from jim.

lend指借出。i lend a pen to mary.

我借给了mary一支笔。

lend是“往外借”，就是把东西借给别人

borrow是“往里借”，从别人那借东西

I borrowed the book from he=He lent the book to me.

主要知道往里借还是往外借就行了

lend的主语是“借出方”，borrow的主语是“接到方”

所以如果你要管别人借书的话可以说:

Could you lend the book to me?

Could I borrow the book (from you)?
