☆  request  要求

============================

Request can be used as either a noun or a verb. When it is used as a noun, we can say that someone makes a request. For example:
My friend made a polite request.
I’m going to make a request that the meeting be postponed.

You can say that someone makes a request “for” something. For example:
My boss granted my request for leave over the Christmas holidays.
She agreed to my request for help.
The government made a request for the return of important missing documents.

However, when request is used as a verb, you do not need to use “for” after it. Looking at the previous example, “The government requested the return of important missing documents.”
