在英語作文寫作中,學(xué)生經(jīng)常會用到agree來表達同意,但它的用法一直是困擾學(xué)生的一個棘手問題,尤其涉及到后面接不同的介詞時,更是令部分學(xué)生一籌莫展。下面分別就agree組成的短語通過實例做一說明,以期達到理解并能在實際語境中正確運用的目的。
1. agree with 指出自主觀愿望的“同意、贊同”
1) agree with sb. 同意,指同意某人的意見。
I cant agree with you on that point. 在那一點上,我不同意你的意見。
Do you agree with me about the need for more schools? 關(guān)于多建一些學(xué)校的事,你同意我的意見嗎?
2) agree with what sb say 同意某人說過的話
I quite agree with what you say. 我很同意你所說的。
I agree with most of what you said,but I dont agree with everything. 我同意你說的大部分,但并不是全部。
3) agree with sth. 同意某事(尤接表主意、意見、看法、觀點的詞)
She agreed with this idea. 她贊成這個主意。
I agree with his analysis of the situation. 我同意他對情況的分析。
另外agree with還可以構(gòu)成以下結(jié)構(gòu):
4) agree with sb (食物、氣候等)與…相一致;適應(yīng)
The climate here agrees very well with me. 此地的氣候與我甚是相宜。
You look well. The air and the sea foods in Sanya must agree with you,I suppose. 你看起來很健康,我想三亞的空氣和海鮮一定適合你。
5) agree with sth. (語法上) 在人稱或數(shù)方面與…保持一致
A verb must agree with its subject in person and number. 動詞必須和它的主語在人稱和數(shù)方面保持一致。
2. agree to
1) agree to sth. 指“接受、認可”,常常指并非出于主觀愿望的“同意”,尤指不樂意或爭論之后的同意(accept an idea,opinion,etc. esp. after unwillingness or argument),多接計劃、日期、建議、提議、安排、解決辦法等名詞。
She agreed to the plan. 她接受了這個計劃。
Do you agree to this arrangement? 你贊成這個安排嗎?
They agreed to the proposal though they did not actually agree with it. 他們接受了這個建議,盡管并不是真正贊同。
2) agree to do sth “同意去做某事”,此時to為不定式符號,后面用動詞原形。
He agreed to get someone to help us. 他同意找人來幫助我們的忙。
He agreed to let me go home early. 他同意我早些回家。
3. agree on/ upon “同意”,指雙方或多方“在…方面取得一致意見或達成協(xié)議”,常與計劃、日期、條件、價格等名詞連用。
We agree on a date for the next meeting. 我們就下次會議的日期達成協(xié)議。
We agree on leaving the next day. 我們一致同意第二天離開。
We couldnt agree on when to meet. 關(guān)于什么時候見面,我們未能取得一致意見。
The price for the house has been agreed on. 房屋的價格已達成協(xié)議。
4. agree that/ It is agreed that 同意∕一致認為
Most scientists agree that global warming is a serious problem. 大多數(shù)科學(xué)家都認為全球變暖是個嚴重的問題。
It is agreed that another meeting was necessary. 大家一致認為有必要再開一次會議。
5. I could not agree more. (口語)我完全同意(I agree completely with sb)。
—The scheme is bound to fail. 這項計劃注定要失敗。
—I couldnt agree more. 你說得太對了(我完全同意)。
由此可以看出,當我們要表示“同意某人做某事”時,也是不能用agree sb to do sth,此時需要選用別的表示方法。endprint
