答

首先要记住: appreciate 要求接动名词,而不能接动词不定式。其次,要记住:动名词可以用物主代词来做它的逻辑主语。下面的动词都要求接动名词,而不可接动词不定式。这是常考的词项:

admit avoid consider deny
enjoy escape fancy imagine
mind miss resist suggest

[全国职称英语等级统一考试试题,综合与人文类(C级),1999,I-2]答案为B。能否选A呢?

答

虽然 thank 与 appreciate 在这里都作“感谢”解，但它们的用法是不同的。

thank 的宾语应当是表人的名词或代词,而作“感谢”解的 appreciate 的宾语则应当是表物的名词或代词(即表示感谢的事情的词语):

问

I would appreciate if you keep it a secret. 你如对此事保守秘密,我将非常感谢。

有人说这个句子有毛病,但毛病在哪里呢?

答

要牢牢记住:作“欣赏”“感激”解的 appreciate 是个及物动词,可接名词或动名词。当与 if(或 when)从句连用时,其后必须有一个 it 来充当它的形式宾语。这是英语和汉语的不同之处。

I would appreciate it if you keep it a secret.

请注意句中的 it:

He would much appreciate it if you could do him that favour. 如果你能帮他这个忙，他将非常感谢。
I'd appreciate it if you let me know in advance whether or not you will be coming. 如果你事先告诉我你是否能来,我将非常感谢。
