v.(动词)appreciate的基本意思是“高度评价某事物”,可表示对某事物理解深刻而能鉴赏或欣赏其价值,特别是美学价值,有时还可表示非常喜欢、非常感激的意思。引申还可表示“增值”。
appreciate作“感激”“重视”“体会到”解时,是及物动词,可接名词、动名词(但不接动词不定式)作宾语,也可接that从句。可用于被动结构。appreciate作“增值”解时是不及物动词,作“使增值”解时是及物动词。
appreciate可接动名词,但不接动词不定式。例如: 我们将乐于再收到你的信。误:We shall appreciate to hear from youagain.正:We shall appreciate hearing from youagain.
在美式英语中, appreciate可直接接that从句; 而在较正式的英国用法中, that从句常须用the fact来引导。例如:I appreciate the fact that this is not an easy decision to make.我意识到这不是一个容易作出的决定。
