thank / appreciate的搭配习惯讲解

 

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的用法:

1. thank表示“感谢”,习惯上只接“人”作宾语,而不能接“事”作宾语:

谢谢你的帮助。

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,而不能接“人”作宾语(与thank的用法恰恰相反):

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 值得注意的用法习惯:可接动名词作宾语(但习惯上不接不定式):

能再次收到你的来信,我们将十分感激。

正:We shall appreciate hearing from you again.

误:We shall appreciate to hear from you again.
