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.

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。可用于被動結(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可接動名詞,但不接動詞不定式。例如: 我們將樂于再收到你的信。誤:We shall appreciate to hear from youagain.正:We shall appreciate hearing from youagain.

在美式英語中, appreciate可直接接that從句; 而在較正式的英國用法中, that從句常須用the fact來引導(dǎo)。例如:I appreciate the fact that this is not an easy decision to make.我意識到這不是一個容易作出的決定。
