Appreciated
“Appreciated” 可表示“被感激或受赏识”,如 Your help is greatly appreciated;也可表示“理解了价值”,如 appreciated the risk;在金融语境还可指“升值”,如 the currency appreciated。
- “Your support during the project was truly appreciated.” (你在项目期间的支持真的令人感激。)
- “She appreciated how much effort the team had put in.” (她体会到团队投入了多少努力。)
- “The local currency appreciated against the dollar last year.” (去年本币对美元升值。)
“Appreciated” 来自拉丁语 “appretiare”(估价),由 ad-(向)+ pretium(价格)构成,原义是“评估价值”,后引申为“欣赏、感激”。
“ap-” 为 ad- 同化形式;“-ate” 为动词后缀;“-ed” 表示过去式或被动含义(被感激的)。
在邮件结尾和职场礼貌用语中,“appreciated” 极其常见,如 feedback would be appreciated;金融报道中则指资产升值。
- 固定搭配: “greatly appreciated” (非常感谢), “appreciated in value” (升值)
- 原形: appreciate
- 名词: appreciation
“ap + preci + ated”:已经“看出价值/估价”,所以是 appreciated——被欣赏、被感激。
“He appreciated the gift, and told her that her patience throughout the week was deeply appreciated.” (他很欣赏这份礼物,并告诉她,她一整周的耐心令人十分感激。)
