感謝到底是哪個字啦!
常常同學會學到很多同義字,但其實在外國人的使用習慣上,常常意思會有所不同,如果同學使用錯誤的單字就會鬧出笑話。
今天就先來介紹感謝要怎麼用!
thank (n./v.) 感謝 + 人 + for N./Ving
🡺 thank是感謝人,若要感謝事情,後面再接for+原因 即可。
I really thank you for giving me a ride.(我真的很感謝你載我一程。)
I must extend my heartfelt thanks to you.(我必須表達我對你衷心的感謝。)
appreciate (vt.) 感激 + N./Ving
🡺 appreciate不能感激人,只能感激一件事情。
I appreciate being consulted.(我很感激能徵求我的意見。)
I really appreciate your help.(我很感謝你的幫助。)
也可以用片語beV appreciative of N.表示感激的意思
另外appreciate還有升值;欣賞的意思
His talent for art was not appreciated.(他的藝術才華無人賞識。)
The yen is expected to appreciate against the dollar.(日圓對美元預期將會增值。)
I am very ________ of your prompt help and would like to express my thanks to you.
A. appreciated
B. appreciating
C. appreciative
D. appreciation
【翻譯】我很感激你及時的幫助,想要對你表達我的感謝。
【解析】beV後方大多接形容詞,而後方有of這個介系詞,所以我們知道考的是片語beV appreciative of,故答案選C。
