题目内容
They________________us on getting married.
A. congratulated B. celebrated
C. praised D. admired
提示:
congratulate为及物动词,意为“庆贺,向……祝贺”,常以“congratulate sb. on/upon sth./doing sth.”的结构形式出现,on/upon的宾语可以是名词,也可以是动名词。例如: I congratulated you on your success.我祝贺你的成功。 congratulate oneself on/upon sth./doing sth.意为“暗自庆幸自己……”。例如: I heartedly congratulates myself on having chosen a good woman to be my wife. 我暗自庆幸挑选到一位贤惠的女子作妻子。 congratulation为congratulate的名词形式,它常用复数形式,congratulations意为“祝贺,祝贺词”,也常和介词on/upon搭配。例如: Congratulations! 恭喜,恭喜! Congratulations on your success.恭喜你成功。 辨析:congratulate与celebrate congratulate与celebrate都有“庆贺”之意,但在具体应用上就不同了:congratulate常跟sb.作宾语,再加on/upon sth.或doing sth.,而celebrate只跟名词作宾语,结构较简单。例如: They went there to celebrate his fiftieth birthday. They went there to congratulate him on his fiftieth birthday. 他们去那里祝贺他50岁的生日。
