“Attach Importance to” 后面加什么?
在英语学习中,短语 attach importance to 是一个高频表达,意为“重视……”或“认为……重要”。但很多学习者不清楚它后面该接什么成分。本文将为你详细解析其用法、结构和常见搭配。
一、基本结构
“Attach importance to” 是一个固定搭配,其中:
- attach 是动词
- importance 是名词(作宾语)
- to 是介词(不是不定式符号!)
因此,“to” 后面必须接名词、代词或动名词(即名词性成分),不能直接跟动词原形。
二、正确用法示例
✅ We attach great importance to education.
(我们非常重视教育。)
✅ She attaches importance to being punctual.
(她重视守时。→ “being punctual” 是动名词短语)
✅ They attach importance to what you say.
(他们重视你说的话。→ “what you say” 是名词性从句)
三、常见错误
❌ He attaches importance to work hard.
(错误!“work hard” 是动词原形短语,不能直接跟在介词后)
✅ 正确应为:
He attaches importance to working hard.
四、常用搭配词汇
“Attach importance to” 后常接以下类型的名词或短语:
- 抽象名词:education, health, safety, privacy, tradition
- 动名词:listening, learning, communicating, exercising
- 名词短语:customer feedback, environmental protection, team collaboration
- 从句:what others think, how you behave, whether you try your best
五、实用例句集锦

六、小结
