① think highly of sth./sb.為正確用法,意為“高度評(píng)價(jià)某事,對(duì)某事/某人評(píng)價(jià)很高,對(duì)某人/本人贊賞”。這里的highly表示“程度”的高,不可用high。另外,也可以說(shuō)think much of,think a great deal of。
They think highly of the novel. 他們高度評(píng)價(jià)這部小說(shuō)。
Her experiment in this field is thought highly of by the scientists. 她在這個(gè)領(lǐng)域里的實(shí)驗(yàn)受到科學(xué)家的高度評(píng)價(jià)。
He thinks a great deal of Mary. 他對(duì)瑪麗印象很好。
② 比較下面幾個(gè)由think構(gòu)成的類似短語(yǔ):
think well of對(duì)……評(píng)價(jià)高,對(duì)……印象好
think little/poorly of對(duì)……評(píng)價(jià)不高,對(duì)……印象不好
think ill/badly of對(duì)……印象不好
I have always thought well of this man. 我一直很欣賞這個(gè)人。
They think poorly of the picture. 他們對(duì)這幅畫評(píng)價(jià)不高。
You think ill of her,don't you?你對(duì)她印象不好,是嗎?
③ sing high praise for sth.也表示“高度贊揚(yáng)”,為think highly of的同義詞。
They sang high praise for his noble behaviour. 他們高度贊揚(yáng)他的高尚行為。
