【用法说明】

1. 其后不接双宾语或that引导的宾语从句，如可说：

I admire his bravery. 但不说：

I admire him his bravery.或I admire that he is brave. 注：

若语义上要接that从句，可考虑改为the fact that结构：

2. 其后不接不定式的复合结构，即不说admire sb to do sth，要表示“羡慕某人做某事”，英语可用admire sb [sb’s] doing sth：

They all admired his behaving so bravely. 他们钦佩他表现如此勇敢。

【谚语】If the eyes do no admire, the heart will not desire. 眼不馋，心不贪。
