動詞arrange的三組正誤用法

■請給我們安排一次與工人的會見。

誤：Please arrange us an interview with the workers.

正：Please arrange an interview with the workers for us.

析：arrange(安排)通常不跟雙賓語。

■我已安排他去參加會議。

誤：I’ve arranged him to attend the meeting.

正：I’ve arranged for him to attend the meeting.

析：arrange(安排) 用作及物動詞時，其后可接不定式作賓語，但是習慣上卻不接不定式的復合結構作賓語，若語義上需要這類 結構，可在 arrange 后加介詞for(如上面的正句) 或換成從句。如上面一句也可說成：I’ve arranged that he (should) attend the meeting.(注意從句的謂語形式)

■他們是按大小排列的。

誤：They arranged in size.

正：They were arranged in size.

析：arrange 表示“整理”、“排列”等，是及物動詞。此句從語義上看應用被動語態。
