appreciate 用法1：
問：“Did Hana say anything about me in her letter?”
“Only that she’d appreciate _________ from you.”
A. to hear B. hearing C. to hearing D. to have heard
上題我選了D，但老師說答案是B，為什麽？
答：這裏的appreciate 用法的句式與enjoy 用法相同，請參考有關enjoy 用法的文章。
appreciate 用法2：
問：We ________ the help he gave us when we moved to our new house.
A. thanked B. appreciated C. obliged D. owed
答案為B。能否算A呢？
答：雖然thank與appreciate 在這裏都作“感謝”解，但它們的用法是不同的。
thank的受詞應當是表人的名詞或代名詞，而作“感謝”解的appreciate 的受詞則應當是表物的名詞或代名詞（即代表感謝的事情的詞語）：
- He thanked me for the present. 他感謝我送禮物給他。
- I appreciate the help you have given me. 我對你所給予的幫助表示感謝。
- I greatly appreciate your kindness. 我非常感謝你的好意。
