receives
基本解释
- v.接到;收到;接待
词源解说
- 1300年左右进入英语,直接源自拉丁语的recipere:re (回,返) + cipere (取,抓),意为重新抓,再次获得。
用法辨析
- receive的基本意思是“接受”“收到”,仅指接到或收到某物的客观事实,而不表示主观态度(接受或拒绝)。引申表示“受到教育、惩罚、支持等”“赞同某一意见或看法”。有时还可表示“接见某人”。
- receive可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,接名词或代词作宾语,还可接以as短语充当补足语的复合宾语。可用于被动结构。
- receive宾语后面可接介词from,表示“从…获得”,也可接介词into,表示“接纳为”。
- receive与accept的区别:receive意为“收到”,表示客观的,accept意为“接受”,表示主观的。当accept a gift时,表示接受了礼物,不会再退回,而receive a gift时,只是收到了礼物,可能还会退回。
- receive只是一时的动作,因此不能说I have received your letter 3 days.应该改为It is 3 days since I received your letter;
- receive from/of的意思是“从某处或某人那收到(款项)”,如received from/of Sam seven pounds;
- 在英美英语中回信中的第一句话,通常是Your letter of ... received,常省略is,has been。
v. (动词)
