一、词义用法

二、后续宾语问题
其后可接名(代)词、动名词、名词性从句等作宾语,但不能接不定式。如:
We shall appreciate hearing from you again.
能再次收到你的来信,我们将十分感激。
I appreciate that you have come here so
感谢你来得这么早。
注意:其后只能接“事”作宾语,而不能接“人”作宾语 (注意:这与thank 的用法恰恰相反)。如:

误:I appreciate you for your kindness.
正:He thanked her for her kindness. 他感谢她的好意。
误:He thanked her kindness.
三、后接if或when从句的问题
其后不直接跟if或when引导的从句,若语义上需要接这类从句,需借助it。如:
I would appreciate it very much if you would help me with it.
如果你能帮助我做这事,我会十分感激。
We really appreciate it when she offered to help.
她来帮忙了,我们十分感激。
四、有关修饰语的问题
要表示程度,可用 deeply, highly, (very) much 等副词修饰。如:

谢你的好意。

注意:much 修饰 appreciate时,只能置于其前,而不能置于其后但 very much 却可以):

误:We appreciate your invitation much.
