核心问题
I would appreciate if you keep it a secret. 你如对此事保守秘密,我将非常感谢。
有人说这个句子有毛病,但毛病在哪里呢?
词典解答
要牢牢记住:作“欣赏”“感激”解的 appreciate 是个及物动词,可接名词或动名词。当与 if(或 when)从句连用时,其后必须有一个 it 来充当它的形式宾语。这是英语和汉语的不同之处。
I would appreciate it if you keep it a secret.
请注意句中的 it:
-
He would much appreciate it if you could do him that favour. 如果你能帮他这个忙，他将非常感谢。
-
I'd appreciate it if you let me know in advance whether or not you will be coming. 如果你事先告诉我你是否能来,我将非常感谢。
-
I would appreciate it ____ you call back this afternoon for the doctor's appointment.
