​received（你receive了，未必就accept了）

received（你receive了，未必就accept了）

receive的意思是“收到了……”，只表示收到某物这个动作，并不表明同意或不同意接受的含义。例如：

I received a gift from her, but I returned it back to her this morning.

我收到了她的礼物，但是今天上午我退回了礼物。

accept表示“接受……”，“同意接纳……”。如接受物体、邀请、批评等，反映人内心的接受或接纳，反义词为refuse。

He received an invitation from her and accepted it happily.

他收到了她的邀请，并愉快地接受了。

【例题】I _________a strange gift yesterday, and I still don’t know who it was from.

A. took B. accepted C. received D. brought

我昨天收到了一个奇怪的礼物，我还不知道是谁送的。答案是C。

最后，大家要仔细体会:你receive了，未必就accept了。这句话的含义，就能彻底弄懂这两个词的区别。
