重点解释

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。

原句:Your husband knows you've been reluctant to testify.

reluctant to do sth:不情愿干某事

例句:They were very reluctant to help.

他们不大愿意帮忙。

原句:I found this young lady wandering the hall.

find sb doing sth:发现某人做某事

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

很少见他用如此低的嗓门说话。

考考你:

你丈夫知道你不愿意出庭作证。

有些时候,伪装才能达成目的。

上期答案:

I screwed up Mrs. Wellner's case.

What matters is how well you do your job.
