appreciate
★★★
🇺🇸 /ʌpɹˈiʃiˌeɪt/
🇬🇧 /əˈpɹɪʃ.i.eɪt/
appreciate 主要表示“看出价值并因此感激或重视”,也可表示理解、意识到某事,或(价值)升值。
💡 记忆钩子
把 appreciate 想成给某样东西“估价”:先看出它有价值,于是可以表示“欣赏、重视”,进一步表示“感激别人付出的价值”;如果对象是资产,它的价值变高,就是“升值”。
📝 学习建议
- 不要把 appreciate 只记成“欣赏”;在日常表达中,I appreciate it 常常是“我很感激”,而不是“我欣赏它”。
- 先掌握“感激”和“重视、欣赏”,再学习“理解、意识到”和金融语境中的“升值”。
📖 中文释义
verb
-
core 感激📖 看出别人付出中的价值,因此表示感谢。它常用于感谢帮助、时间、努力或支持,语气通常真诚而礼貌。💡 常用结构是 appreciate + 名词,或 appreciate + 动名词,例如 appreciate your help、appreciate you helping me。不要说 appreciate to do;若感谢某人做某事,应说 appreciate your doing it 或 appreciate it when you do it。这个词比简单的 thank 更强调“我意识到这件事很有价值”。transitiveI really appreciate your help with this project.我真的很感激你对这个项目的帮助。We appreciate you taking the time to meet with us.感谢你抽出时间来见我们。
-
core 欣赏;重视📖 认识到某人或某物的价值、优点或美好之处,因此对它抱有欣赏或重视的态度。💡 常用结构是 appreciate + 人或事物,也可说 appreciate the importance/value of something。这里不是单纯“喜欢”,而是理解其价值后加以重视;不要把它误当作 enjoy 的完全同义词。它既可用于艺术,也可用于时间、机会、安静等抽象事物。transitiveAs I got older, I learned to appreciate quiet mornings.随着年龄增长,我学会了珍惜安静的早晨。She appreciates good design and careful craftsmanship.她欣赏优秀的设计和精心的工艺。
-
common 理解;意识到📖 充分看见某件事的真实情况、重要性或含义,也就是在心里真正意识到并理解它。💡 常见结构是 appreciate + 名词,或 appreciate that 从句;正式说明中也常见 appreciate how/why 从句。这里不能简单换成“感谢”,因为重点是理解事实或重要性。中文里容易把它和 realize 混用:appreciate 往往还带有对情况复杂性或重要性的充分认识。transitiveYou may not appreciate how difficult this decision was.你可能没有意识到这个决定有多难。
-
common 升值📖 当对象是房产、货币、股票等有价格的资产时,表示它的市场价值增加;这仍然可以看作“价值变高”。💡 不及物用法常见于 appreciate in value 或 appreciate by + 数字;也可用作及物动词,表示某资产使其价值增加。这个义项主要出现在金融、经济和投资语境中,不要与“增值”或“涨价”在所有场合随意互换。描述一般商品价格上涨时,通常用 rise 或 increase 更自然。intransitive transitiveThe house appreciated significantly after the new station opened.新车站开通后,这所房子的价值大幅上升。

🌳 词源
源自拉丁语中表示“估价、定价”的词根,核心观念是判断某物的价值;它与英语中的 appraise 和 precious 同源。
Originated 1645–55; from Medieval Latin appreciātus (“valued or appraised”), later variant of Late Latin appretiātus (“appraised”), the perfect passive participle of appretiō (see -ate (verb-forming suffix)), from a(d) (“toward”) + preti(um) (“price”) + -ō (first conjugation verb-forming suffix).
Cognate to French apprécier. Latin root also origin of English appraise, which has various Romance cognates; see also precious.
