Acknowledge，这个词，看着简单，其实用法颇多。 在英语学习中，我们经常会遇到需要表达承认、感谢等意思的场合，这时，acknowledge就派上了用场。它不仅可以接名词、代词，还能接动名词，非常灵活。

最基本的用法，acknowledge后面直接加名词或代词。 比如说，“He acknowledged his own faults.” 这句话，就是“他承认了错误。”这里的acknowledge，就是承认的意思，后面直接跟了名词faults。 然后，acknowledge还可以接动名词。 举个例子，“They acknowledged having been defeated.” 这句话的意思是“他们认输了。”这里的acknowledge后面，接的是动名词短语having been defeated，表示对过去被击败这一事实的承认。 acknowledge还可以跟that引导的从句。 比如，“He refused to acknowledge that he had done wrong.” 这句话，就是“他拒不承认自己做错了。”这里的acknowledge，后面跟的是that引导的从句，表示对某一事实的否认。除了这些基本用法，acknowledge还有更多深层次的含义和用法。比如，它可以表示“承认（权威、地位）”，还可以用于“告知收悉”的场合，甚至可以用来表示“（微笑、挥手等）致意”和“（公开）感谢”。 acknowledge这个词虽然简单，但用法却非常丰富。 掌握了它的各种用法，你的英语表达会更加地道、流畅。下面，我给大家整理了一个详细的表格，方便大家更好地理解和记忆acknowledge的用法。
