一,agree的正确用法
◆他们同意我做这事。
误:They agreed me to do it.
正:They agreed to let me do it.
正:They agreed to my doing it.
析:不要按汉语习惯用 agree sb to do sth 来表示“同意某人做 某事”, 要表示此意, 需改用其它结构。
◆他们大多数同意帮助我们。
误:Most of them agreed helping us.
正:Most of them agreed to help us.
析:表示同意做某事,agree 后要接不定式,不接动名词。
◆他想出国,但我们没一个人同意。
误:He wanted to go abroad, but none of us agreed (to) him.
正:He wanted to go abroad, but none of us agreed with him.
析:表示同意某人(或某人的想法、意见等), 要用 agree with sb, 不用 agree (to) sb。
◆这种天气对她不适宜。
误:The weather does not agree to her.
正:The weather does not agree with her.
析:表示“(食物、天气、工作等)对 ...适宜”, 英语要用 agree with。如:
Hard work does not agree with him. (艰苦的工作对他不适宜)。/ Such food doesn’t agree with babies. (那样的食物对婴儿不适合)
◆我们已商定好了这辆旧车的价钱。
误:We have agreed with (to) the price for the old car.
正:We have agreed on the price for the old car.
析:agree on 指双方通过讨论或协商而取得一致的意见或达成协议,其主语通常为复数形式或表示复数意义的词。又如:We didn’t agree on when to start.
(关于什么时候出发, 我们没有达成一致意见)。

He agree the plan (the date). 他同意了这个计划(日期)。

I was forced to agree to it, but at heart I didn’t quite agree with it.
我被迫答应,但内心并不完全同意。

注:英语不说 agree sb to do sth。如不说:

3. agree on [upon]

注:与 agree to do sth 大致同义。所以上句也可说成:
