其中:
attach 此处意为“赋予(重要性、意义等);认为…有(价值)”;
great importance 表示“极大的重要性”;
to 是介词,后接被重视的对象。
“to”是介词,后面必须接名词、代词或动名词(doing),不能接动词原形。
可替换“great”为其他形容词,表达不同程度的重视:
attach much importance to(很重视)
attach particular/special importance to(特别重视)
attach no/little importance to(不重视/不太重视)
1、 个人:She attaches great importance to spending quality time with her children.(她非常重视和孩子共度的高质量时光。)
2、 企业:Our company attaches great importance to employee training.(我们公司非常重视员工培训。)
3、 政府:The government attaches great importance to environmental protection.(政府非常重视环境保护。)
4、 动名词作宾语:We should attach great importance to learning from our mistakes.(我们应该非常重视从错误中学习。)
当需要突出“被重视的对象”时,可用被动结构:Great importance is attached to sth.
例如:
Great importance is attached to education in our country.(我国非常重视教育。)
Little importance was attached to this issue in the past.(过去人们不太重视这个问题。)
lay/place great emphasis on sth.(强调;重视)
give priority to sth.(优先考虑某事)
总结:这个短语是表达“重视”的高频实用搭配,适用于口语和写作,只要注意“to”后接名词/动名词即可。
