Unit 52 I would appreciate you if... 或 I would appreciate it if...？
中文的「感謝；感激」，我們都知道英文可說 appreciate
但其實這個appreciate的用法很多人會用錯!
appreciate後面可以接「人」嗎? 還是接「事」呢?
appreciate [əˋpriʃɪ͵et] 為「感激、欣賞」之意，用法如下：
a. appreciate 可作及物動詞，表「感激」，不可用「人」作受詞。
例 I really appreciate you for helping me so much. (X) ─ 受詞為人
→ I really appreciate your help. (O) ─ 受詞為物
= I am really thankful / grateful for your help. (O)
= Thank you very much for your help. (O)
(非常感謝你的幫助。)
例 I would appreciate you if you could help me write the paper. (X) ─ 受詞為人
→ I would appreciate it if you could help me write the paper. ((O) ─ 受詞為物，此處 it 是代名詞代替之後的整個 if 子句)
(你若能幫我寫這份報告我會很感激。)
b. appreciate 另一意表「欣賞、賞識」，可用「人」或「事物」作受詞。
例 John left the company when he found his boss didn’t appreciate him / his contribution. (√)
(約翰發現老闆並不賞識他／他的貢獻時，便離開公司了。)
答案: (A)
