原标题：有哪些我们平时讲起来很顺的句子，其实都是错的？

“We need to discuss about the issue.”

“Please contact with him.”

“I appreciate for your help”

這些句子念起來很順啊，但怎么又觉得怪怪的？

來看看究竟发生了什么问题吧！

杰克在与客户讨论完新的产品企划后的隔天，传了一封 email 给他。没想到，后来那位客户就突然取消了合作。

一封 email 怎麽就让杰克流失了一位客户，这中间到底出了什麽问题呢？让我们来看看信的内容吧！

Dear Mr. Clark,

For the project we discussed about yesterday, we really appreciate for your precious suggestions. As you mentioned, it is truly a disaster that the product’s appearance lacked of beauty. We will emphasize on the coloring and texture, making it more elegant and smoother. You also mentioned about the package design. We are now considering to redesign it to make it more compact. The new prototype of the product should reach at your company before next Friday. Please feel free to contact with me if there are any further questions. It is our responsibility to make the product approach to perfection.

Sincerely yours,

Jack

关于昨天的讨论，我们很谢谢您对企划所提出的宝贵建议。就像您说的，产品的外观缺乏美感是非常严重的问题。我们会强调配色与材质的选用，让产品更典雅与平滑。您也提及了包装上的问题，我们已经在考虑重新设计产品的包装，让它更精緻小巧。新的产品原型会在下星期五前送达您的公司。如果有任何问题都欢迎跟我联络。让产品趋近完美是我们的职责。

杰克在 email 的礼仪上没有什麽问题，那到底是哪边出了差错呢？原来，是语法错太多了，口口声声说要将客户的产品做到最好，结果连写信都写不好，难怪会失去客户的信任！让我们来学学这些动词该怎麽正确使用吧：

1. discuss 讨论

discuss 是及物动词 (transitive verb) ，后面不能加 about 或其他介系词。

还有另一个帮助记忆的方法是：

discuss = talk about

假设我说 We discussed about the problem.

就等于是 We talked about about the problem.

这样应该可以很明显地知道错在哪裡了吧？所以正确用法为：

Experts gathered at 2015 World Climate Summit to discuss the global warming issue.

專家們在 2015 世界氣候高峰會討論了全球暖化的問題。

但你可能会觉得，为什麽 about 看起来那麽熟悉？

没错，当 discuss 作为名词时，后面就要接 about 。

Experts gathered at the 2015 World Climate Summit for a discussion about the global warming issue.

或许你还有看过一种令人混淆的句子：

John goes to his math teacher to discuss about three problems each day.

約翰每天都會找他的數學老師討論大約三題數學。

原来这边的 about 是用来修饰后面的 three problems 表示大约三题，跟前面的 discuss 没有关连，不要搞混了哦！

2. appreciate 感谢

appreciate 是及物動詞，後面不能加 for 或其他介係詞。

I really appreciate your support through out the hard time.

真的很感謝你在這段艱困的日子裡伸出援手。

另外，來比較一下這兩個句子：

I appreciate your support.

I appreciate you for your support.

第一句是强调你感谢他所做的「事」，第二句的用法变成主要在强调那个「人」。

第二句是错的吗？没有，但在职场的沟通上，会尽量避免太过针对个人，所以用第一句的表达方式才是恰当的，但在其他非正式的场合也常常会看到第二句的用法喔！

3. lack 缺乏

lack 是及物动词，后面不能加 of 或其他介系词。

但我怎麽觉得 lack of 这个用法很熟悉呢？那是因为当 lack 为名词时的时候，后面就要加 of 。

He has great basketball skills, but always lacks confidence on the court.

他擁有高超的籃球技巧，但在場上時總是缺乏自信。

He has great basketball skills, but the lack of confidence always makes him lose the game.

他擁有高超的籃球技巧，但缺乏自信導致他總是輸了比賽。

4. emphasize 強調

emphasize 後面不能加 on 或其他介係詞。但如果是作為名詞的時候就要接 on 。

I want to emphasize my sense of aesthetics by making my resume pretty.

I want to put emphasis on my sense of aesthetics by making my resume pretty.

我想要把履歷做得很漂亮來強調我的美感。

5. mention 提及

mention 不管是什麼詞性，後面都不能加 about 或其他介係詞哦！

We have corrected the error you mentioned yesterday.

我們已經把你昨天提到的錯誤修正了。

6. consider 考慮/把…視為

consider 一般來說直接加名詞就好，後面要加東西的話比較常見的有兩種用法： consider A to be B 和 consider + Ving 。

I will carefully consider the options he gave.

我會仔細考慮他給我的選項。

Everyone in the company considers Wei to be a douchebag.

公司所有人都認為 Wei 是個王八蛋。

He is considering studying abroad for graduate school.

他在考慮出國念研究所。

7. reach 到達

若要表示到達的話， reach 後面直接加名詞就可以了，但要注意如果是用 arrive 的話就要加 at ，兩者不要搞混了！

The plane I’m taking tonight will reach Seattle at 5 p.m. tomorrow.

The plane I’m taking tonight will arrive at Seattle at 5 p.m. tomorrow.

我今晚搭的飛機會在明天下午五點抵達西雅圖。

8. contact 联络

contact是及物動詞，後面不能加 with 或其他介係詞。除非當作名詞時才要加 with 。

You can contact me anytime during office hours if you have any questions about the documents.

如果你對於文件有任何問題，在上班時間內隨時可以打來問我。

I lost contact with my elementary school friends a long time ago.

我跟國小同學很久以前就失聯了。

9. approach 接近

approach 为动词时不能加 to ，但如果要表达「门路」或「方法」的话，就要将词性变为名词，这时候就要加 to。

When temperature approaches zero degree Celsius, water begins to freeze.

當溫度接近攝氏零度時，水就開始結冰了。

There are many approaches to a successful life.

要活出成功的人生有很多種方式。

学完后，来看看正确版的 email 该怎麽写吧：
