accept和receive的区别

accept和receive的区别

accept / receive：接受 / 收到 (某事物)

这两字最大的差别在於: 主词需要同意收才会用accept。 

☆ accept： 

(v) 接受 

较接近 “接受”之意。常用accept 收到的事物多半属不可数的名词，如 : 邀请，道歉，挑战，提议，报酬 (invitation, apology, challenge, offer, reward)。 

例句 :

I accepted Mike’s invitation to his birthday party.

我接受Mike的邀请到他的生日派对。 

Do you accept my challenge to a race?

你接受我的挑战来比赛吗? 

☆ receive :

(v) 收到 (某事物) 

指 “接到” 某事物但主词是在被动情况下收到的;例如 :邮差送信并不徵求收信者的同意。常用receive收到的事物多半属实体类的，如 : 信，电子邮件，礼物，电话，货品 ( letters, emails, presents, phone calls, goods )。 

例句 :

I received a parcel from my mother today.

今天我收到我妈妈寄来的包裹。 

Linda looked very happy after she received a phone call from her friend.

Linda接了她的朋友打来的电话後她看起来很高兴。 

☆ (decline或refuse 婉拒或拒绝 / send 寄送) 是accept / receive的反义字。
