appreciate

appreciate

英 [ə'priːʃɪeɪt; -sɪ-]
　　美 [ə'priʃɪet]

vt. 欣賞；感激；領會；鑒別
　　vi. 增值；漲價

v.(動詞)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。可用於被動結構。appreciate作“增值”解時是不及物動詞,作“使增值”解時是及物動詞。appreciate後可接that從句。美國人習慣在appreciate後直接加that，而英國人則習慣在that前加上the fact。

I appreciate that the plan has worked well.I appreciate the fact that the plan has worked well.

He appreciates being advised.
他很感激得到瞭建議。

I shall appreciate it if you will give me his address.

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