记忆方法
联想:不乐意的话就违令。
同时还有一个稍微偏一点但是初高中生也有必要知道的词义:遗嘱。
而遗嘱就是遗嘱订立人本身的一种意愿和想法。
再来看willing:某个人订立了遗嘱,指定谁为继承人或者把某个东西由谁继承,说明他是自愿的、乐意的决定这样做。
所以引申为:乐意的,自愿的。
也可以做will的现在分词形式:决心……
双解例句
小知识
If you're willing to do something, you're agreeable or ready. A willing participant in your play is someone who won't have to be coerced into taking part, but is happy to join you on stage.
Imagine that your neighbor asks whether you're willing to feed her cat while she's out of town. If you're open to helping her, perhaps even enthusiastic about spending time with a friendly cat, you're willing. Someone who's not willing would have to be persuaded or forced to do it. You can also use this adjective to mean “readily or enthusiastically done,” as in the willing support you offer your best friend when she runs for class president.

单词用法
god willing 如果情况允许的话
a willing horse 心甘情愿努力干活的人
show willing [口语]愿意做,同意
这组词都有“自愿的”的意思,其区别是:
willing着重自愿、令人愉快或急切地去行动。
voluntary使用广泛,侧重不受约束,行动不为其他影响所左右。
willing作“愿意的,心甘情愿的”解时在句中只用作表语;
作“主动的,乐意的”解时在句中只用作定语;
作“乐意的,自愿的”解时在句中用作定语,也可用作表语。
