妙語佳句:

原句:I appreciate you sending me to that spa.

appreciate:文中意思為“感激”，除此之外還有“欣賞, 賞識, 領會, 意識到 ”的意思。

用法:

1.appreciate后可接that從句。

I appreciate that the plan has worked well.

美國人習慣在appreciate后直接加that，而英國人則習慣在that前加上the fact。

I appreciate the fact that the plan has worked well.

2.appreciate后不可接不定式，可以+~ing。

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.

3.公文里常習慣用It is appreciated that…和It will be appreciated that…的表達方式，不過有人認為可以省略。

I appreciated that you have accomplished the task.可改成You have accomplished the task。

原句:I found this young lady wandering the hall.

find sb doing sth:發現某人做某事

例句:It's not easy to find him talking in such a low voice.

很少見他用如此低的嗓門說話。
