agree with/to

这是一个在我国英语学界被普遍接受的观点。但是，你在下面的大量例句中将会看到，agree with 与 agree to 的区别，并不在于它们所接的宾语不同（接人或接物），而在于它们具有不同的语义。现代英美语言学家们已对 agree with 与 agree to 在意义上的细微差别作了明确的辨析。

agree with 是指出自主观愿望的“赞成”“同意”(have the same opinion),例如:

1. Langdon had not initially agreed with this idea, but as they had hatched their plan, Sophie's logic began to make sense. (Dan Brown, The Da Vinci Code) 兰登最初并不同意她的主张，但是，由于他们已想好了一套计划，索菲的那套逻辑才开始变得有意义起来。（《达·芬奇密码》）

2. I don't agree with a single word that you have said. (Wilde) 你所说的每句话我都不赞成。

3. I agree with his views. (RWRT) 我同意他的观点。

4. One Republican Congresswoman called me to explain that she agreed with the President's goal … (Hillary, Living History) 有位共和党籍女性国会议员打电话给我，解释说她赞成总统的目标……(希拉里，《亲历历史》)

agree to 则是指“接受、认可”，常常指并非出于主观愿望的“同意”。正像 ALD 所说，agree to 尤指不乐意或争论之后的同意（to accept an idea, opinion, etc., esp. after unwillingness or argument）。RWRT 有一句话颇能帮助我们区分 agree with 与 agree to：“你可能 agree to 一个政策，然而并不一定 agree with 它。”

1. He agrees to all your proposals except the last. 他接受你所有的建议,但最后一条除外。

2. I find it impossible to agree to your terms. (CIE) 我认为不可能接受你们的条件。

3. She can't agree to your demands. 她不可能接受你的要求。
