| 释义 | appreciate Ever since Ayres 1881 various critics have felt it necessary to find fault with one sense or another of appreciate. Not infrequently one critic approves the very sense another disparages. Bierce 1909 and Vizetelly 1906, for instance, specifically approve a meaning that Ayres disapproves: "to increase in value." Bernstein 1971 approves "be grateful" while Evans 1957 dislikes it. Bierce and Follett 1966 set up a primary sense and decry the decay of the word from it. Other commentators have various other points to make. One century of criticism has produced no clear, consistent, and legitimate concern. Reader's Digest 1983 lists the senses found in most dictionaries and declares them all acceptable. So they are. Trust your dictionary. |
