【病句诊断】

Headmaster Liu accepted the present, but she did not receive it.

刘校长收到了礼物，但是没有接受。

【辨析讲解】

这句话中2个关键的动词accept和receive都有“接到”的意思。但是它们之间存在的差异是accept是指经过考虑接受下来，表示了接受人的态度。而receive是指短暂或瞬间的动作或事实，不涉及是否收为己有。句中正好弄反了。

【诊断结果】

Headmaster Liu received the present, but she did not accept it.

【举一反三】

Micheal received my invitation to my wedding and accepted it.

Micheal收到了我结婚的请柬，并答应来参加我的婚礼。
