“appeal” 有多个用法,它既可以作名词,也可以作动词使用。下面,我们将重点讲解 “appeal” 的三个常见含义,并通过大量的例句来帮助大家理解不同含义之间的区别。
 
先来看 “appeal” 的第一个含义:当它作不可数名词使用时,描述 “使人或事物有吸引力的品质”,即 “魅力”。听两个例句。
 
Examples
I don't really understand why everyone likes this new singer so much. What's the appeal?
(真不明白为什么人人都这么喜欢这个新歌手。魅力何在?)
 
It used to be one of the best restaurants in the city but it has lost its appeal.
(这家餐厅曾是市里数一数二的馆子,但它失去了往日的魅力。)
 
在与 “wide、certain” 或 “particular” 等特定形容词搭配时,“appeal” 可以作可数名词使用,意思还是 “吸引力”。听两个例句。
 
Examples
It's a very popular TV series – it has a wide appeal.
(这是一部非常受欢迎的电视连续剧,有广泛的吸引力。)
 
I decided1 to buy the house. It needs a lot of work, but it has a certain appeal.
(我决定买下这栋房子。它有很多要修缮的地方,但有种特别的吸引力。)
 
作动词时,“appeal” 的意思是 “引起某人的兴趣或对某人有吸引力”。它是规则动词,但由于 “appeal” 描述的是一种状态,所以不能用在进行时中。动词 “appeal” 后面常接介词 “to”,引出被吸引的人,即 “appeal to someone”。听两个例句。
 
Examples
Golf doesn't appeal to me. I like more exciting sports!
(高尔夫对我没有吸引力。我喜欢更刺激的运动!)
 
It's a new social media platform designed to appeal to young adults.
(这是一个新的社交媒体平台,旨在吸引青年人。)
 
接着,来看看 “appeal” 的第二个常见含义。我们同样先从 “appeal” 的名词用法说起,再看它的动词用法。
 
“An appeal” 指 “向公众的呼吁,请求资金、信息或帮助”,常在媒体或公共平台上听到这个用法,因为这种呼吁的目的是得到广泛的回应。在表达这个意思时,名词 “appeal” 总是可数的,它常与 “make、issue” 或 “launch” 等动词搭配使用,表示 “发起呼吁”。听两个例句。
 
Examples
The police have issued an appeal for any information that might help with their investigation2.
(警方呼吁人们提供任何可能有助于他们调查的信息。)
 
The charity has launched an appeal for donations to help rescue animals injured in the hurricane.
(该慈善机构发起募捐活动,帮助救助在飓风中受伤的动物。)
 
“Appeal” 的动词形式也是 “appeal”,意思是 “向公众发起正式或严肃的请求,通常是为了请求资金、信息或帮助”。搭配 “appeal for” 后面引出所请求的事情;搭配 “appeal to” 后面引出呼吁的对象。来听两个例句。
 
Examples
The police have appealed to the public for any information that might help with their investigation.
(警方呼吁公众提供任何可能有助于调查的信息。)
 
The charity is appealing for donations to help rescue animals injured in the hurricane.
(该慈善机构呼吁捐款,来帮助救援在飓风中受伤的动物。)
 
下面,来说说 “appeal” 的第三个主要意思:名词 “appeal” 用于法律语境中,表示 “上诉,申诉”。在表达这个含义时,“appeal” 作可数或不可数名词。我们来听两个例句。
 
Examples
His appeal was successful and all the charges against him were dropped.
(他上诉成功,针对他的所有指控都已撤销。)
 
She argued that the fine was too much and the judge agreed. It was reduced on appeal.
(她辩称罚款金额过高,已被法官批准。经上诉,罚款被减少了。)
 
在法律语境中,“appeal” 也可以作动词,表示 “向法院或官方正式请求改变判决,上诉”。如果我们想提及这个判决或决定,可以用介词 “against”:“appeal against(对…裁决提出上诉)”;如果想提及所询问的权威,就使用介词 “to”:“appeal to(向某人提出异议、上诉)”。听两个例句。
 
Examples
He appealed against the sentence and was successful.
(他对判决提出上诉并上诉成功了。)
 
Lots of the football players appealed to the referee3 but the decision remained the same.
(许多足球运动员向裁判提出异议,但决定仍然不变。)
 
谢谢听众 Jean 的问题。归纳一下前面讲过的内容:“appeal” 既可以作名词,也可以作动词使用,有三个主要意思:谈论 “人或事物的吸引力或魅力”;“向公众呼吁或恳求资金、信息或帮助” 以及在法律语境中谈论 “上诉,异议”。
