一、词义用法问题
1.欣赏,赞赏
That’s because you can’t appreciate music. 这是因为你不能欣赏音乐。
I appreciate his generosity. 我赞赏他的慷慨大方。
2.理解。体会
I appreciate the difficulty. 我理解这种困难。
I am afraid you don’t appreciate America. 恐怕你不理解美国。
3.感谢,感激
I appreciate your goodness in calling. 我感谢你好心来访。
He appreciated their confidence. 他感激他们的信任。
二、后续宾语问题
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:
We shall appreciate hearing from you again. 能再次收到你的来信,我们将十分感激。
I appreciate that you have come here so early. 感谢你来得这么早。
注意:其后只能接“事”作宾语,而不能接“人”作宾语 (注意:这与thank 的用法恰恰相反)。
三、后接if或when从句的问题
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:
I would appreciate it very much if you would help me with it.如果你能帮助我做这事,我会十分感激。
We really appreciate it when she offered to help.她来帮忙了,我们十分感激。
四、有关修饰语的问题
要表示程度,可用 deeply, highly, (very) much 等副词修饰。如:
I deeply appreciate your kindness.我深深感谢你的好意。
He highly appreciated their help.他非常感谢他们的帮助。
注意:much 修饰 appreciate时,只能置于其前,而不能置于其后但 very much 却可以)
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:

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。
