使用appreciate的四点习惯 1.习惯上不接不定式作宾语 其后可接名 (代)词、动名词、名词性从句等作宾语,但不能接不定式:http://yingyu.chazidian.com We shall appreciate hearing from you again. 能再次收到你的来信,我们将十分感激。 I appreciate that you have come here so early. 感谢你来得这么早。
2.习惯上不用“人”作宾语 其后只能接“事”作宾语,而不能接“人”作宾语 (注意:这与thank 的用法恰恰相反): 正:I appreciate your kindness. 谢谢你的好意。 误:I appreciate you for your kindness. 正:He thanked her for her kindness. 他感谢她的好意。 误:He thanked her kindness.
3.后接if或when从句时习惯上要先接it 其后不直接跟if或when引导的从句,若语义上需要接这类从句,需借助it: I would appreciate it very much if you would help me with it. 如果你能帮助我做这事,我会十分感激。 We really appreciate it when she offered to help. 她来帮忙了,我们十分感激。
4.关于修饰语的搭配习惯 要表示程度,可用 deeply, highly, (very) much 等副词修饰: I deeply appreciate your kindness. 我深深感谢你的好意。 He highly appreciated their help. 他非常感谢他们的帮助。 注意:much 修饰 appreciate 时,只能置于其前,而不能置于其后但 very much 却可以): 我们非常感谢你的邀请。 正:We much appreciate your invitation. 正:We appreciate your invitation very much. 误:We appreciate your invitation much.
