【病句诊断】
Headmaster Liu accepted the present, but she did not receive it.
刘校长收到了礼物,但是没有接受。
【辨析讲解】
这句话中2个关键的动词accept和receive都有“接到”的意思。但是它们之间存在的差异是accept是指经过考虑接受下来,表示了接受人的态度。而receive是指短暂或瞬间的动作或事实,不涉及是否收为己有。句中正好弄反了。
【诊断结果】
Headmaster Liu received the present, but she did not accept it.
【举一反三】
Micheal received my invitation to my wedding and accepted it.
Micheal收到了我结婚的请柬,并答应来参加我的婚礼。
