3. affect vt. 影响;侵袭;相当于;使感动;激起(悲伤、愤怒、爱等情绪)
易混辨析:affect/effect/influence
affect vt.表示“影响,(病)侵袭”,多指不好的影响。当affect的宾语是人时,它表示引起心智或感情上的影响,即“使……感动”。
effect 表示“影响”时,是名词,指由于某种原因直接产生的结果,常用短语为:have an effect on对……有影响;in effect正在实行;实际上;side effect副作用;take effect开始实行;开始生效;without effect没有效果;come into effect生效;实施;bring/carry sth. into effect使……生效;be of no effect 无效果。
influence多指对人的思想、观念、心理情绪等内在的东西产生潜移默化的影响,或对人的决定、行为等造成某种程度的影响。

4. appreciate vt.欣赏;感激;意识到;体会;理解
appreciate后可接名词、代词、动名词、名词性从句等作宾语,但不能接不定式。表示“感激,感谢”时,其后的宾语只能为“物”,不能为“人”。其后不直接跟if或when引导的从句,若语义上需要接这类从句,需借助it,即:appreciate it if/when ...。
易混辨析:appreciate/thank
appreciate 意为“感激,感谢”时的结构为:
appreciate (doing) sth.
appreciate it if/when ...
thank表示“感谢”时的结构为:thank sb. for sth.。
