準(zhǔn)確、地道的商務(wù)文書助你更加成功

appreciate一詞在商務(wù)類文書是比較常用的，但很多人在使用時(shí)忽略了語(yǔ)法，就連老外也常常在appreciate一詞上犯錯(cuò)誤。這里總結(jié)了常見(jiàn)的appreciate糾錯(cuò)示范，希望能夠幫助大家寫出準(zhǔn)確又地道的商務(wù)英語(yǔ)文書。

WRONG: We would appreciate if you corrected the entry in the register as soon as possible。

錯(cuò)誤用法：如果你能盡快更改登記處的入口，我將非常感激。

RIGHT: We would appreciate it if you corrected the entry in the register as soon as possible。

正確用法：如果你能盡快更改登記處的入口，我將非常感激(英語(yǔ)原句比前者多了一個(gè)it)。

This is a very common mistake, and remember that when you use the phrase “I would appreciate…”you MUST include the word “it”before “if”：

這是一個(gè)常見(jiàn)錯(cuò)誤，記住當(dāng)你要用“I would appreciate…”這個(gè)表達(dá)式時(shí)，一定要在if前加一個(gè)it。

更多例子：

E.g.1:I am sure the supervisory authority would not appreciate it if you took that course of action。

例1：我相信監(jiān)督部門對(duì)你的所作所為不會(huì)表示欣賞。

E.g.2:We would appreciate it if you would arrange for immediate payment。

例2：如果您能立即付款，我們將很感激。

There is no need to add “it”if you do not include “if”。

如果你不用if從句的話，就沒(méi)有必要在appreciate后面加it了。

E.g.: We would much appreciate a letter informing us of the result of your enquiries。

例句：如果您能對(duì)您的詢盤結(jié)果給我們回信的話，我們將非常感激。

An alternative phrase to “I would appreciate it if…”is, “I would be grateful if…”This is the more formal phrase of the two and does not require that troublesome “it”!

“I would appreciate it if…”這個(gè)表達(dá)式的替代用法有“I would be grateful if…”，但是這個(gè)用法更為正式，而且不需要加那個(gè)麻煩的“it”!
