高考英語詞語辨析:區(qū)別 accept 與 receive
這兩個(gè)動詞的用法既有相同之處,也有不同之處。分述如下:
1. receive 通常指被動地收到或接到,而 accept 則指主動地接受。如:
We havent received his letter for a long time. 我們很久沒有收到他的來信了。
She offered him a lift and he accepted (it). 她請他坐她的車,他就領(lǐng)情了。
比較并體會:
She received his present, but she didnt accept it. 她收到了他的禮物,但是沒有接受。
注意:有時(shí)用詞要視語言習(xí)慣而定,而不能簡單地認(rèn)為 receive=收到,accept=接受。如接受禮物說成英語是 accept a gift, 而接受教育卻是 receive an education。
2. 表示接見、接待時(shí),要用 receive 而不用 accept。如:
She was warmly received. 她受到熱情接待。
