在高考英语中,receipt是非常核心的高频词汇。它由前缀 re-(back,向后)和词根 ceipt(=ceive,拿、取)组成,字面意思是“拿回来”,引申为“收到某物的凭证”。
重点解读与发音
一,receipt 读作 /rɪˈsiːt/(注意:中间的 p 不发音),可作名词,也可作动词。
二,名词是 receipt,动词是 receive。注意结尾是 -ipt 而不是 -eive。
1.名词 收据,发票,收条 Please keep the receipt in case you need to return the product.
2.名词 收到,接收 We acknowledge receipt of your letter.
3.名词 (企业、政府等的)收入,进款 The company';s receipts have increased this quarter.
4.动词 给…开收据,承认收到 His main work is to receipt for each lot of goods.
必须掌握的用法:
第一,表示“收据、发票”(日常生活与购物场景高频)。
在完形填空和语法填空中,常与购物、退货、报销等场景绑定。
- You should keep the receipt after shopping in case you need to return the product.
(购物后你应该保留收据,以防需要退货。)
- We only take goods back if customers can produce the receipt.
(顾客如能出示收据,我们才能予以退货。)
第二,表示“收到、接收”(商务信函与阅读高频)。
阅读理解的应用文如邮件、通知,常以固定搭配出现,表示确认收到某物。
- I would be grateful if you would acknowledge receipt of this letter.
(收信后若能及时告知,将不胜感激。)
- The goods will arrive within four weeks upon receipt of your order.
(收到您的订单后四周内货物将送达。)
第三,表示“收入、进款”(经济类阅读高频)。
通常用复数形式 receipts,指公司或政府的财政收入。
- Customs and excise receipts rose 2.5 per cent.
(关税及消费税收入提高了2.5%。)
高考重点关注
1.keep/save the receipt 保留收据 Keep the receipts in case you need to return anything.
2.ask for a receipt 索要收据 Remember to ask the cashier for a receipt.
3.acknowledge receipt of 确认收到(信件、货物等) We acknowledge receipt of your email.
4.on / upon receipt of 一收到…就… On receipt of the payment。 we will send the goods.
5.in receipt of 已收到… We are in receipt of your letter of the 10th.
几个近义词辨析
在完形填空和语法填空中,receipt 常与 receive、accept 放在一起考查,必须精准区分:
1. receipt vs. receive:
- receive 是动词,强调客观上“收到、接到”(不强调主观是否接受)。例如:I received a gift.(我收到了一份礼物。)
- receipt 是名词,指“收到的事实”或“收到的凭证(收据)”。例如:I acknowledge receipt of the gift.(我确认收到了礼物。)
2. receive vs. accept:
- receive 强调客观收到(被动动作)。
- accept 强调主观接受(主动决定)。例如:She received his apology, but didn';t accept it.(她收到了道歉,但没有接受/原谅。)
3. receipt vs. invoice:
- receipt 是付款后拿到的“收据、凭证”,证明你已经付过钱了。
- invoice 是卖方开出的“发票、账单”,要求你付款。
高考实景操练
1. 完形填空 / 语法填空
- 看到语境是“购物、退货、报销”,且需要填一个名词,毫不犹豫选 receipt。
- 语法填空注意:如果句意是“一收到…就…”,常考固定搭配 on/upon receipt of,注意不要写成 receive。
2. 阅读理解
- 在应用文(如商务邮件、通知)中,遇到 acknowledge receipt of 或 upon receipt of。直接理解为“确认收到”或“一收到…就…”,这是解题的关键时间或动作节点。
- 在经济类文章中,遇到 gross receipts 或 total receipts,直接理解为“总收入”。
3. 写作表达(提分利器)
- 在应用文(如感谢信、投诉信)的开头或结尾,用 receipt 相关的句型显得非常正式、地道:
- I am writing to acknowledge receipt of the book you sent me.
(我写信是为了确认收到了您寄来的书。)
- Upon receipt of your reply, I will make further arrangements.
(一收到您的回复,我将做进一步安排。)
小节
背 receipt 时抓住三条核心就够了:
1. keep the receipt = 保留收据。购物退货场景
2. acknowledge receipt of = 确认收到(商务邮件场景)
3. on/upon receipt of = 一收到…就…,阅读与写作高频句型
答题时只要看到“凭证、确认收到、收入”的语境,即是 receipt。
