    4.approve在正式场合可用作及物动词,在日常用语里可用作不及物动词, consent和assent只用作不及物动词。consent后接to, approve后接of, assent后接to。
    5.assent只用于肯定句; agree, approve和consent可用于肯定句,也可用于否定句。例如:
    He assented to the doctor's assertion that his son was ill, but would not consent to having him hospitalized.医生说他儿子有病,他同意这一诊断,但不同意让他住院。

    consent, promise

    这两个词都有“答应”的意思。它们的区别是:
    promise是“自己主动答应”这一概念,含有自觉主动的意味; 而consent则是“答应人家的要求”,含有被动的意味。试比较:
    Our director has promised to make a speech.
    我们的主任已答应作个报告。
    (是他主动答应的)
    We asked our director to make a speech and he consented.

    consent指同意别人的请求、建议或满足他人的愿望,着重意愿或感情,常和to连用。
    approve侧重对认为正确或满意的事表示赞同或批准。作不及物动词用时,常与of连用。
