Accepting

“Accepting” 可表示“正在接受某物或某种状况”,如 accepting a job offer;作形容词时指“包容、不苛责”,如 an accepting attitude toward differences。

  1. “The university is accepting applications until March.” (大学接受申请至三月。)
  2. “She has an accepting attitude toward constructive criticism.” (她对建设性批评持接纳态度。)
  3. “They are accepting donations for the relief fund.” (他们正在为救灾基金接受捐赠。)

“Accepting” 来自拉丁语 “acceptare”(拿取、接受),由 ad-(向)+ capere(拿)构成。

“ac-” 为 ad- 在 c 前的同化形式,表示“向、到”;“-ing” 为现在分词或形容词后缀。

在招聘、支付和心理健康语境中,“accepting” 都很常见,如 accepting credit cards、accepting yourself。

  • 固定搭配: “accepting applications” (接受申请), “accepting of” (对……包容)
  • 原形: accept
  • 名词: acceptance

“accept + ing”:正在“接受”或性格“包容”,就是 accepting。
