此题应选C.容易误选A.
该题主要涉及表示感激的thank和appreciate的用法:
1. thank表示感谢,习惯上只接人作宾语,而不能接事作宾语:谢谢你的帮助。
正:Thank you for your help.
误:Thank your help.谢谢你的好意。
正:Thank you for your kindness.
误:Thank your kindness.
2. appreciate表示感谢,则习惯上只能接事作宾语,而不能接人作宾语(与thank的用法恰恰相反):谢谢你的好意。
正:I appreciate your kindness.误:I appreciate you for your kindness.顺便补充一点appreciate值得注意的用法习惯:可接动名词作宾语(但习惯上不接不定式):能再次收到你的来信,我们将十分感激。
正:We shall appreciate hearing from you again.误:We shall appreciate to hear from you again.
