agree to:同意; 答應(yīng)
They agreed to give the matter top priority.
他們同意優(yōu)先考慮這件事。
詞義辨析:agree to,agree on,agree with這些短語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞均可表示“同意”之意。
1.agree to常與plan(計(jì)劃)、arrangement(安排)、suggestion(建議)、proposal(建議)、terms(條件)、method(方法)等名詞連用。這時(shí)agree to不僅指其主語(yǔ)與對(duì)方看法一致,而且暗含自己也愿合作、承擔(dān)義務(wù)或效法的意味。
2.agree on指雙方或多方在某件事情上取得一致的意見(jiàn)。常與plan(計(jì)劃)、date(日期)、terms(條件)、price(價(jià)格)等名詞連用。
3.agree with可用于指人,指同意其看法或意見(jiàn)等,也可與一些名詞或從句連用。與agree to不同之處是,僅表示看法或意見(jiàn)一致,沒(méi)有愿意進(jìn)行合作或效法的含義。
step up:增加; 加快; 提升
