妙语佳句:

原句:I appreciate you sending me to that spa.

appreciate:文中意思为“感激”，除此之外还有“欣赏, 赏识, 领会, 意识到 ”的意思。

用法:

1.appreciate后可接that从句。

I appreciate that the plan has worked well.

美国人习惯在appreciate后直接加that，而英国人则习惯在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.

他很感激得到了建议。

有时，appreciate后带动宾语it最好不讨省略掉。

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

3.公文里常习惯用It is appreciated that…和It will be appreciated that…的表达方式，不过有人认为可以省略。

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

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