易 混 淆 字 詞 辨 析
agree to 和 agree with 是常用的「雙字動詞」，表示「同意」之意。其用法差異如下：
□ agree to → 同意的是「一件事」
例 The union leaders agreed to the company’s contract offer.
工會領袖們同意該公司在合約中所訂的條件。
□ agree with → 同意的對象是「人」，亦即「同意某人的看法」。
例 Yes, I agree with you on that issue.
是的，在那個問題上我同意你的看法。
👆另外，除了表「同意（人）」之外，agree with 還可以用來指「適合（人）」。不過，此時 agree with 的主詞通常是「事物」而非「人」。
例 The climate in Hawaii agrees with me. I’m thinking of moving there.
夏威夷的氣候很適合我。我正在考慮搬到那兒。
Russia and Ukraine (A) have agreed with the need for humanitarian corridors to deliver aid and help civilians exit (B) besieged Ukrainian cities, in the first apparent sign of progress in talks between the warring sides. The tentative agreement, (C) reached in Belarus, came as (D) Russian forces continued to surround and attack Ukrainian cities, including the capital, Kyiv, and (E) the second-biggest city of Kharkiv.
答案：(A) have agreed with → 應改為 have agreed to
翻譯：俄羅斯與烏克蘭皆同意有必要建立人道走廊以運送救援物資並協助平民逃開被圍困的烏克蘭城市，這是交戰雙方的談判取得進展的第一個明顯跡象。在這項臨時協定於貝拉魯斯達成之際，俄羅斯軍隊繼續包圍和攻擊烏克蘭城市，包括首都基輔和第二大城市哈爾科夫。
解說：文中 (A) 後面俄羅斯與烏克蘭同意的 the need 屬於「某事」，所以搭配的片語應該是 agree to。
