1. 表示“感激”“赞赏”等,通常为及物动词,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。如:
I really appreciate a good cup of tea. 有好茶一杯,我就真乐在其中了。
I appreciate your giving me so much of your time. 真感激你为我花了这么多时间。
I appreciate being given this opportunity. 非常感谢给了我这个机会。
I appreciate that you have come here so early. 感谢你来得这么早。
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。如:
We really appreciate it when she offered to help. 她来帮忙了,我们十分感激。
I would much appreciate it if you would arrange this for us. 如果你能替我安排这事,我将非常感激。
2. 其后只能接“事”作宾语,而不能接“人”作宾语;若接“人”作宾语,可考虑用动词thank等。比较:
正:We appreciate your help. 我们感谢你的帮助。
误:We appreciate you for your help.
正:He thanked her for her help. 他感谢她的帮助。
误:He thanked her help.
