accept与receive的区别是:accept表示“接受”,receive表示“收到”。比如收到一份礼物,我们说receive a present,不说 accept a present。但老师说“接受教育”,英语要用动词 receive 而不能用动词 accept。这是为什么?
▲表示“接受教育”“接受培训”“接受指导”等除用receive外,另一个常用动词时have:
She had a public school education. 她受过公学教育。
She had no formal instruction in music. 她没有受过正规的音乐指导。
He had training on how to use a computer. 他接受过使用电脑的培训。
I think she’s very conscious of being the only person in the office who didn’t have a university education. 我想她对于自己是办公室里唯一没有受过大学教育的人这一点很敏感。
