thank / appreciate的搭配习惯解说
请看两个句子:
a. He |||||||||| her for her help and then left.
b. He |||||||||| her help and then left.
A. thanked,thanked B. appreciated,appreciated
C. thanked,appreciated D. appreciated,thanked
此题应选C。容易误选A。该题主要涉及表示“感激”的thank和appreciate的使用方法:
1. thank表示“感谢”,习惯上只接“人”作宾语,而不可以接“事”作宾语:
谢谢你的帮忙。
正:Thank you for your help.
误:Thank your help.
谢谢你的好意。
正:Thank you for your kindness.
误:Thank your kindness.
2. appreciate表示“感谢”,则习惯上只能接“事”作宾语,而不可以接“人”作宾语(与thank的使用方法恰恰相反):
谢谢你的好意。
正:I appreciate your kindness.
误:I appreciate you for your kindness.
顺便补充一点appreciate 值得注意的使用方法习惯:可接动名词作宾语(但习惯上不接不定式):
能第三收到你的来信,大家将十分感激。
正:We shall appreciate hearing from you again.
误:We shall appreciate to hear from you again.
