Lure is usually more disapproving than entice, and can involve tricking sb into a dangerous situation; if you entice sb you try to persuade them, often to do sth that is good for them. However, lure can also be used in a more informal, slightly humorous way, about a situation that is really not dangerous at all. * lure通常比entice贬义重，可能涉及骗某人陷入险境；entice指试图说服某人，常让他们做对自己有益的事。不过，lure亦可用于较轻松随意、略带幽默的场合，真实情况一点儿也不危险◆By careful management Jack had been lured away while the party preparations were made.通过精心安排，在准备聚会时，杰克已经被骗走了。 ■ seduce sɪˈdjuːs; NAmE sɪˈduːs [transitive] (written) to persuade sb to do sth that they would not usually agree to do by making it seem very attractive 诱骗；唆使◆The promise of huge profits seduced him into parting with his money.高额利润的许诺诱使他把钱交了出来。▸ seduction sɪˈdʌkʃn

Both of these words are frequently used in the passive in business journalism. 在商业新闻中，这两个词均常用被动形式◆Operators are lured / seduced by the price of cheap oil.经营者被低廉的油价所吸引。
