“動詞+賓語+不定式”用法歸納

“動詞+賓語+不定式”是英語中一個十分有用的結(jié)構(gòu)，不僅是考試中的重要考點(diǎn)，而且在口語中也用得非常廣泛。可用于該結(jié)構(gòu)的常用動詞有 advise, allow, ask, bear, beg, cause, command, encourage, expect, forbid, force, get, hate, help, intend, invite, leave, like, mean, need, oblige, order, permit, persuade, prefer, request, remind, teach, tell, trouble, want, warn, wish 等。如：

I hate women to smoke. 我不喜歡女人抽煙。

The doctor advised me to take a complete rest.  醫(yī)生建議我完全休息。

He didn’t allow the students to go there. 他沒讓學(xué)生們?nèi)ツ莾骸?/SPAN>

值得注意的是，漢語中許多“……某人做某事”的情形不能想當(dāng)然地用此結(jié)構(gòu)來翻譯，下面是一些典型的例子：

●漢語可說“害怕某人做某事”，但英語不說 fear sb to do sth。如：

我害怕他會發(fā)現(xiàn)我們。

誤：I fear him to find us.

正：I fear that he will find us.

●漢語可說“原諒某人做某事”，但英語不說 excuse [forgive] sb to do sth。如：

請?jiān)�諒我沒有早點(diǎn)給你回信。

誤：Excuse me not to answer your letter earlier.

誤：Excuse me not to have answered your letter earlier.

正：Excuse me for not answering your letter earlier.

正：Excuse me for not having answered your letter earlier.

正：Excuse my not answering your letter earlier.

正：Excuse my not having answered your letter earlier.

●漢語可說“拒絕某人做某事”，但英語不說 refuse sb to do sth。如：

他拒絕我使用他的自行車。

誤：He refused me to use his bike.

正：He refused to let me use his bike.

正：He didn’t allow me to use his bike.
