thank / appreciate的搭配习惯讲解
请看两个句子：
a. He __________ her for her help and then left.
b. He __________ her help and then left.
A. thanked，thanked B. appreciated，appreciated
C. thanked，appreciated D. appreciated，thanked
此题应选C。容易误选A。该题主要涉及表示“感激”的thank和appreciate的用法：
1. thank表示“感谢”，习惯上只接“人”作宾语，而不能接“事”作宾语：
谢谢你的帮助。
正：Thank you for your help.
误：Thank your help.
谢谢你的好意。
正：Thank you for your kindness.
误：Thank your kindness.
2. appreciate表示“感谢”，则习惯上只能接“事”作宾语，而不能接“人”作宾语(与thank的用法恰恰相反)：
谢谢你的好意。
正：I appreciate your kindness.
误：I appreciate you for your kindness.
顺便补充一点appreciate 值得注意的用法习惯：可接动名词作宾语(但习惯上不接不定式)：
能再次收到你的来信，我们将十分感激。
正：We shall appreciate hearing from you again.
误：We shall appreciate to hear from you again.
