「appreciate」的用法

當 appreciate 單獨接動名詞時,表示動名詞是子句的主詞。但如果 appreciate 接的是所有格形容詞 + 動名詞,動名詞就不是指子句的主詞了。appreciate 也可以接名詞。

舉例
  • 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.
