commend, 这是一个动词,正式用语表达中常用。它有两个含义,使用频率较高的意思是“公开地、正式地赞扬、表扬、表彰某人或某事物的某一方面的努力,成就或成果”。Commend 在书面语上出现的频率比较高。让我们来听几个例句。ExamplesThe police commended Mr Porter on his courageous action in helping to catch the robber.警方表扬了 Porter 先生帮忙抓住抢劫犯的勇敢行为。The boys were commended for their determination and courage in running the London Marathon.男孩们在伦敦马拉松比赛表现的决心和勇气受到了赞扬。The company was commended for its outstanding contribution to environmental protection.该公司因其为环境保护做出的杰出贡献受到表扬。The book was widely commended for its vivid portrayal of the struggle against poverty.这本书因其对贫困生活的真实写照受到广泛的称赞。Commend 还可以表示“因为优秀、实用而值得推荐给他人”。这和 recommend 的意思几乎是一样的。不过 recommend 更加口语化。在生活中我们极少会听到人们用 commend 来表示“推荐”的意思。Commend 可以和 little 或者 much 搭配,以表示“不值得推荐 little to commend”或者“很值得推荐 much to commend”。比如:ExamplesI commend Sarah to you without reservation.对于 Sarah 这个人,我毫无任何保留地推荐给你。The tiny studios in central London have little to commend them.伦敦市区的小套房真的没有什么值得推荐的。接下来让我们来看一下 recommend。这是一个动词,无论是书面用语还是日常生活用语,它的使用频率都很高。当人们说起“因某人或某事物有好处,有优点而值得推荐给其他人”的时候,我们都可以用 recommend。先让我们听几个例句吧。ExamplesI recommend this book to you; it's an excellent read.我向你推荐这本书,特别值得一读。Can you recommend any wine to go with my main course? Thank you.您能推荐一下,什么样的酒可以配我的主菜吗?谢谢。If you need a good architect, I would recommend George.如果你需要一个值得信赖的建筑设计师,我会推荐乔治。I decided to come here for dinner because my friend recommended it.我决定到这儿来吃饭是因为我朋友推荐的。我们还经常用 recommend 来表示“建议”,建议需要做的事情或需要注意的事项。请听例句。ExamplesMy doctor recommended that I should do more exercise.医生建议我需要增强锻炼。I recommend that you allow at least two hours to get to the airport. The traffic is terrible on Mondays.我建议你路上至少提前两个小时去机场。周一的交通特别差。My piano teacher recommended that my piano is professionally tuned every six months.我的钢琴老师建议每六个月就要给我的钢琴进行专业调音。You should never take more cough syrup than the dose recommended by the doctor.你不应该服用超过医嘱剂量的止咳糖浆。更多英语知识请关注英语口语培训
