「appreciate」的用法

当 appreciate 单独接动名词时,表示动名词是子句的主词。但如果 appreciate 接的是所有格形容词 + 动名词,动名词就不是指子句的主词了。appreciate 也可以接名词。

举例
  • I appreciate having time off work.
  • I appreciate your giving me time off work.
  • I appreciate time off work.
  • We appreciate eating chocolate cake.
  • We appreciate his eating our chocolate cake.
  • We appreciate chocolate cake.
