accept與receive的用法區(qū)別是什么 主要區(qū)別及例句

Accept是指主觀上自愿主動去接受、接納，也可以說是思考過某人或某物在某方面足夠好、滿足自己的期望而接受。Receive是指客觀上的接受、接收這種行為和動作，并不涉及主觀意愿，像接受郵件、信息、信號、請柬等等。

1.receive通常指被動地“收到”或“接到”，而accept則指主動地“接受”。如：

We haven’t received his letter for a long time.我們很久沒有收到他的來信了。

She offered him a lift and he accepted (it).她請他坐她的車，他就領(lǐng)情了。

比較并體會：

She received his present,butshe didn’t accept it.她收到了他的禮物，但是沒有接受。

注意：有時用詞要視語言習(xí)慣而定，而不能簡單地認(rèn)為receive＝收到，accept＝接受。如“接受禮物”說成英語是accept a gift,而“接受教育”卻是receive an education。

2.表示“接見”、“接待”時，要用receive而不用accept。如：

She was warmly received.她受到熱情接待。

She was quite satisfied with the boy so she readily accepted the small gift.

她對那個男孩挺滿意的，所以欣然接受了他的小禮物。

The security guard patiently explained to him that he could not bring electronics into the room. He finally accepted.

保安耐心地跟他解釋說不能帶電子產(chǎn)品進(jìn)入房間，他最終接受了。

When he woke up the next day, he received a lot of text messages.

第二天醒來的時候，他收到了很多條短信。

He received an invitation to tdinner, but he didn't intend to go.

他收到了宴會邀請，但是不打算去。
