詞語(yǔ)辨析
agree with,agree to
【解說(shuō)】這兩個(gè)短語(yǔ)都是“贊同”“同意”的意思。它們的區(qū)別在于1.一般說(shuō),with后接人,to后接事。例如I agree with you,but I am afraid I cannot agree to your plan.我同意你的看法,但我恐怕不能贊同這個(gè)計(jì)劃。2.agree with的含義是主觀上“同意”,即“贊成”,而agree to只表示“同意”,但未必“贊成”。例如People may agree to something that they do not actually agree with.人們可以同意他們實(shí)際上并不贊成的事。The boss agreed to the terms only under the pressure of the workers.老板只是迫于工人的壓力才同意那些條件的。The director had to agree to the proposals though he did not agree with them.主任雖然并不贊成這些建議,他也只好同意了。I was forced to agree to it,but at heart I did not quite agree with it.我不得不同意,但我內(nèi)心并不完全贊成。3.agree to可用于被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu);而agree with不可。例如大家都同意我的意見(jiàn)。[誤]I was agreed with by everybody.[正]Everybody agrees with me.4.agree with和agree to最大的區(qū)別在于語(yǔ)感上第一,agree with you的you實(shí)際上也是指事,而非指人的肉身,you在這里等于your view或what you say.這種情況英語(yǔ)并不少見(jiàn),例如Listen to me carefully.第二,agree to還可含有愿意大力協(xié)助之意。agree with后可接意見(jiàn)、看法、觀點(diǎn);agree to后可接建議、計(jì)劃、安排。5.agree with還可以表示“與…相符”“適合于”;而agree to沒(méi)有這些意思。agree to-v,agree to(in,on〕v-ing
【解說(shuō)】agree之后可接動(dòng)詞不定式,不接動(dòng)名詞。但agree to(in,on〕之后卻可接動(dòng)名詞。這兩種用法在意思上差不多。例如他同意去。He agrees on going.(=He agrees to go.)它們之間的差別是1.這兩種用法在側(cè)重點(diǎn)上稍有不同。接不定式時(shí)側(cè)重“同意做(某事)”;接動(dòng)名詞時(shí),側(cè)重“對(duì)(做某事)表示同意”。例如We agreed to do it.我們同意做它。(聽(tīng)從了別人的意見(jiàn)而同意)We agreed in doing it.對(duì)于做這件事我們相互表示同意。2.接動(dòng)詞不定式時(shí),該不定式的邏輯主體與句子的主語(yǔ)一定是同一個(gè)人,即主語(yǔ)答應(yīng)(自己)做某事;而接動(dòng)名詞時(shí),其邏輯主體與句子主語(yǔ)可以不是同一個(gè)人,即主語(yǔ)同意(別人)做某事,即在做某事這一點(diǎn)上,主語(yǔ)和動(dòng)名詞的邏輯主體相互同意。試比較At last she agreed to marry him.她最后還是同意嫁給他。At last Jane's father agreed to her marry-ing John.簡(jiǎn)的爸爸最后還是同意她嫁給約翰了。agree about,agree in,agree on(upon〕
【解說(shuō)】這三個(gè)短語(yǔ)都可以表示“雙(多〕方意見(jiàn)一致”,它們的區(qū)別是1.涉及講座的題目,用about;要確定一件事情,用on。例如They never agree about politics.關(guān)于政治問(wèn)題他們總是意見(jiàn)不一致。Can we agree on a date for the next meeting?咱們能否為下次會(huì)議確定一個(gè)日期?2.agree in所指的范圍較agree on大,后者指“在某一點(diǎn)上一致”,前者指“在某一方面一致”。例如We agreed in that the design was poor.我們一致認(rèn)為該設(shè)計(jì)是差勁的。Once the price for the land has been agreed upon,we can go ahead and build the house.一旦就土地價(jià)格達(dá)成協(xié)議,我們就可以開(kāi)始建房子了。3.agree
