一、
误用不定式作宾语
要表示汉语的
p>
“
建议做某事
”
,
英语通常用
suggest
doing
sth
,而不能
用
suggest to do
sth
。如:
他建议坐飞机去,可我认为这样花费太大。
正:
He suggested going by
plane, but I thought it would cost too much.
误:
He suggested
to go by plane, but I thought it would cost too
much.
汤姆建议把房子卖了,但是安表示反对。
正:
Tom suggested selling the
house but Ann was against it.
正:
Tom suggested to sell the
house but Ann was against it.
二、
汉语通常说
“
建议某人做某事
”
,
但英语习惯上不能说
suggest sb
to do
sth
,而说
suggest
sb’s
[sb]doing
sth
。也就是说,
suggest
后不仅不接
不定式,而且也不接不定式的复合结构。如:
他建议我们早点动身。
正:
He suggested that we leave
earlier.
误:
He suggested us
to leave earlier.
当然,
我们也可以用后接
that
从句的形式来表达此意思
(
注意谓语用
“should+
动词原形
”
这样的虚拟语气形式
)
。如:
I
suggest that we (should) have lunch right now.
我建议我们现在就吃午饭。
He
suggests that we should all go to see the film.
他建议我们都去看电影。
比较以下同义表达:
他建议他们在没有听到事实真相之前什么都别说。
正:
He suggested (should) not
saying anything till they heard the facts.
正:
He suggested saying
nothing about it till they heard the facts.
正:
He suggested that they
shouldn’t say anything till they heard the facts.
三、
混用其后宾语从句的语气
suggest
后接宾语从句时,
从
谓语既可用陈述语气,
也可用虚拟语气,
其区别与
suggest
所表示的意思有关:
1.
若
suggest
表示
“
建
议
”
,
则
其
< br>后
接
的
that
从
句
谓
语
通
常
用
“(should)+
动词原形
”
p>
这样的虚拟语气形式。如:
I
suggested that she should go home.
我建议她回家去。
She
suggested that I (should) be the leader.
她提议由我来做领导人。
2.
若
suggest
表示
“
暗示
”“
意指
”“
表明
”
等义,
则其后接的
that
从句要
用陈述语气。如:
What he said suggested that he was a
cheat.
他说的话表明他是个骗子。
Are
you suggesting that I’m not suited for the job?
你的意思是说我不适合做这工作
?
四、
其后误接双宾语
要表示向某人提出某
情况,
suggest
后不能接双宾语,
即不能用
suggest
sb
sth
,而通常用
suggest
sth to sb
。如:
我向她提出一个解决问题的办法。
正:
I suggested a way out to
her.
误:
I suggested her a way
out.
若其中的直接宾语比较复杂
(
比如是
that
从句
)
时,可考虑改用
suggest to sb
sth
。如:
我向他建议我们应该用另一种方式处理这个问题。
正:
I suggested to him that we
should tackle the problem another way.
误:
I suggested him that we
should tackle the problem another way.
五、
忽略相关派生名词的相关用法
按英语
习惯,
suggest
的派生名词
su
ggestion
也具有与其词根动词相似
的用法,如当
suggestion
表示
“
建议
”
时,若其后接一个
th
at
引导的宾
语从句,则该从句也习惯上要用
< br>“should+
动词原形
”
这
样的虚拟语气。
如:
The
suggestion
that
shops
should
open
on
Sundays
led
to
a
heated
discussion.
关于商店星期日也应该营业的提议,引起了激烈的争论。
