appreciate

常用用法

appreciate的基本意思是“高度評價某事物”,可表示對某事物理解深刻而能鑒賞或欣賞其價值,特別是美學(xué)價值,有時還可表示非常喜歡、非常感激的意思。引申還可表示“增值”。
appreciate作“感激”“重視”“體會到”解時,是及物動詞,可接名詞、動名詞(但不接動詞不定式)作賓語,也可接that從句?？捎糜诒粍咏Y(jié)構(gòu)。appreciate作“增值”解時是不及物動詞,作“使增值”解時是及物動詞。
appreciate后可接that從句。美國人習(xí)慣在appreciate后直接加that，而英國人則習(xí)慣在that前加上the fact。I appreciate that the plan has worked well.I appreciate the fact that the plan has worked well.
appreciate后不可接不定式，可以接動名詞。He appreciates being advised. 他很感激得到了建議。
有時，appreciate后帶動賓語it最好不討省略掉。I shall appreciate it if you will give me his address.
公文里常習(xí)慣用It is appreciated that…和It will be appreciated that…的表達方式，不過有人認為可以省略。I appreciated that you have accomplished the task. 可改成You have accomplished the task。

這組詞都有“明白”或“理解”的意思。其區(qū)別在于：
1.see的基本意思可指一般視覺的“看見”,也可指有意識地“觀察”,引申可表示由觀察而“領(lǐng)會”“理解”。
2.comprehend指用智力充分而完全地理解事物的內(nèi)在含義。例如:
The child read the story but didn't comprehend its full meaning.那孩子看了這篇故事,但沒有理解它的全部意思。
If you can use a word correctly and effectively you comprehend it.如果你能正確、有效地使用一個詞,你就是了解它了。
3.understand則是明白別人說的話,完全了解某種事實。例如:
My wife doesn't understand me.我的妻子不理解我。
I've read the letter but I don't understand it.這封信我已經(jīng)看過了,可是看不懂。
4.appreciate指對某物有較深的理解能力,強調(diào)“欣賞”。例如:
She appreciated a work of art.她欣賞一件藝術(shù)品。
I am incapable of appreciating classical music.我不會欣賞古典音樂。

這兩個詞都有“欣賞”的意思。其區(qū)別是：
1.appreciate指能鑒定其優(yōu)劣,品評其價值,而enjoy則只是得到感官或精神上的樂趣或滿足。例如:
She appreciated a work of art.她欣賞一件藝術(shù)品。
They all went to enjoy the cherry blossoms.他們都去觀賞櫻桃花了。
2.appreciate指對某物有較深的理解能力,而enjoy則不需要有較高的修養(yǎng)和理解水平。例如:
I think everyone enjoyed your wonderful party the other night.我想大家都欣賞那天晚上你舉行的精彩的晚會。
I am incapable of appreciating classical music.我不會欣賞古典音樂。
3.appreciate還可用于感謝、感激,而enjoy則沒有此義。例如:

I really appreciate your advice.真是感激你的忠告。
