congratulate的賓語有何特點

1. 其賓語通常是人，不是事；要表示因某事而祝賀某人，可用congratulate sb on [upon] sth。如：

我祝賀他取得成功。

正：I congratulate him on his success.

誤：I congratulate his success.

2. 其后習慣上不接不定式的復合結構作賓語，即不說congratulate sb to do sth，可改為congratulate sb on doing sth。

He congratulated us on getting married. 他祝賀我們結婚大喜。

3. 有時接反身代詞作賓語。如：

You can congratulate yourself on having done a good job. 你的工作干得出色，你應該感到自豪。
