1. 确保；使必然发生
    If one thing guarantees another, the first is certain to cause the second thing to happen.

    e.g. Surplus resources alone do not guarantee growth.
           仅有富余的资源并不能确保发展。
    e.g. ...a man whose fame guarantees that his calls will nearly always be returned.
           其名望能确保他的呼吁几乎总能得到回应的人

2. 保证
    Something that is a guarantee of something else makes it certain that it will happen or that it is true.

    e.g. A famous old name on a firm is not necessarily a guarantee of quality...
           公司悠久的品牌并不能确保商品的质量。
    e.g. There is still no guarantee that a formula could be found.
           还没有把握是否能找到一个配方。

3. 保证…必定发生；承诺做；答应提供
    If you guarantee something, you promise that it will definitely happen, or that you will do or provide it for someone.

    e.g. All students are guaranteed campus accommodation for their first year...

4. 保修单
    A guarantee is a written promise by a company to replace or repair a product free of charge if it has any faults within a particular time.

    e.g. Whatever a guarantee says, when something goes wrong, you can still claim your rights from the shop...
           不论保修单如何规定，若商品出了问题，消费者仍然可以去商店维护自身权益。
    e.g. It was still under guarantee.
           它还在保修期内。

5. 为…提供质量保证；担保
    If a company guarantees its product or work, they provide a guarantee for it.

    e.g. All Dreamland's electric blankets are guaranteed for three years.
           所有的梦乡牌电热毯质保3年。

6. 担保金；担保物；抵押品
    A guarantee is money or something valuable which you give to someone to show that you will do what you have promised.

           18至20岁的男性必须缴纳一笔保证金，作为回来服兵役的担保。
