He would not receive her as his son's wife.这个句子对吗?
这个句子出自上海译文出版社1985年7月新2版,1989年4月第13次印刷的《新英汉词典》(增补本)第1111页中,是receive的第3个词义“接受;接纳;承认”的例句。
He would not receive her as his son's wife.这个句子对吗?
对的.儿媳也可以用daugther-in-law,但这里强调的更是缺少人情味,用son's wife似乎更为合适.
哦是这个问题,receive和accept.
是这样:receive其实更注重于接待,而accept更注重于观念上的接受
这句如果用receive意思就可能是:
他不会把这个女人当作自己的儿媳那样来招待.
也是没有问题的,
eg.
When she arrived by train she was disappointed that nobody came to receive her as promised.
但如果你是想说,他不会接受这个女人成为他的儿媳,那还是accept用得比较多一点,更注重观念上的接受.但如果用receive也可能是一样的意思,所以可以这样说,在一定程度上,两个词是可以通用的.
eg.
She loves Helena as a daughter despite her lack of social class and,recognizing Helena's virtue,would happily receive her as a daughter-in-law.
