動(dòng)詞appreciate的兩點(diǎn)用法
1. 表示“感激”“贊賞”等,通常為及物動(dòng)詞,其后可接名(代)詞、動(dòng)名詞、名詞性從句等作賓語,但不能接不定式。如:
I appreciate being given this opportunity. 非常感謝給了我這個(gè)機(jī)會。
I appreciate that you have come here so early. 感謝你來得這么早。
I really appreciate a good cup of tea. 有好茶一杯,我就真樂在其中了。
I appreciate your giving me so much of your time. 真感激你為我花了這么多時(shí)間。
其后不直接跟 if 或when引導(dǎo)的從句,若語義上需要接這類從句,需借助 it。如:
We really appreciate it when she offered to help. 她來幫忙了,我們十分感激。
I would much appreciate it if you would arrange this for us. 如果你能替我安排這事,我將非常感激。
2. 其后只能接“事”作賓語,而不能接“人”作賓語;若接“人”作賓語,可考慮用動(dòng)詞thank等。比較:
正:We appreciate your help. 我們感謝你的幫助。
誤:We appreciate you for your help.
正:He thanked her for her help. 他感謝她的幫助。
誤:He thanked her help.
