词语辩析: Agree to与Agree with的分别


按agree with是「赞成」，其受词可以是人、计划、分析、建议等，例如：
(1) I agree with the proposal(我赞成这个建议)。
(2) I agree with his analysis of the situation(我同意他对情况的分析)。
(3) I agree with every word you’ve just said(你刚才说的每一个字我都同意)。

agree to则可能不赞成，但仍然接受，例如：
(1) As I had no choice, I had to agree to their very harsh terms(我别无办法，唯有答应他们苛刻的要求)。
(2) I agree to the proposal(我可能不赞成，但仍接受这个建议)。
不少人都听过以下说法： You agree with somebody but agree to something （同意某人的话，是agree with；同意某件事，是agree to）。

但请看张道真《现代英语用法词典》所引英国小说家沃尔蒲（Hugh Walpole）
They might not agree with his opinions （他们未必赞同他的意见）、
名作家王尔德（Oscar Wilde）
I don't agree with a single word that you have said （你说的话，我一个字都不赞同）
二语，你就会发觉「不能说agree with something」的原则子虚乌有。
