此題應(yīng)選C.容易誤選A.
該題主要涉及表示感激的thank和appreciate的用法:
1. thank表示感謝,習(xí)慣上只接人作賓語,而不能接事作賓語:謝謝你的幫助。
正:Thank you for your help.
誤:Thank your help.謝謝你的好意。
正:Thank you for your kindness.
誤:Thank your kindness.
2. appreciate表示感謝,則習(xí)慣上只能接事作賓語,而不能接人作賓語(與thank的用法恰恰相反):謝謝你的好意。
正:I appreciate your kindness.誤:I appreciate you for your kindness.順便補充一點appreciate值得注意的用法習(xí)慣:可接動名詞作賓語(但習(xí)慣上不接不定式):能再次收到你的來信,我們將十分感激。
正:We shall appreciate hearing from you again.誤:We shall appreciate to hear from you again.
