vi. 接受：

【用法说明】

1. 其后可接名词或代词作宾语，但一般不接不定式：

He asked her to marry him and she accepted him. 他向她求婚，她同意了。

2. 表示承认某事实或接受某情况时，其后可直接跟that从句，也可在that从句前加上the fact：

For a long time, he simply could not accept that she was dead. 有很长一段时间他都难以接受她已经死了。

3. 表示“接受”时可用作及物或不及物动词，所以类似下面这样的用法，其后的it可以省略：

We offered him a lift, but he didn’t accept . 我们建议他搭我们的车，但他没有接受。

【用法辨析】accept, receive 收到

accept指主观上接受，receive指客观上收到：He received the gift, but he did not accept it. 他收到这件礼物，但没有接受。但是，汉语说“接受良好教育”，说成英语不能是accept a good education，可改用动词receive。
