suggest的錯誤用法分析
suggest的錯誤用法分析
下面是小編整理的一些關于suggest的錯誤用法分析,以供大家學習參考。
一、
誤用不定式作賓語
要表示漢語的“建議做某事”,英語通常用 suggest doing sth,而不能用 suggest to do sth。如:
他建議坐飛機去,可我認為這樣花費太大。
正:He suggested going by plane, but I thought it would cost too much.
誤:He suggested to go by plane, but I thought it would cost too much.
湯姆建議把房子賣了,但是安表示反對。
正:Tom suggested selling the house but Ann was against it.
正:Tom suggested to sell the house but Ann was against it.
二、
漢語通常說“建議某人做某事”,但英語習慣上不能說 suggest sb to do sth,而說suggest sb’s [sb]doing sth。也就是說,suggest 后不僅不接不定式,而且也不接不定式的復合結構。如:
他建議我們早點動身。
正:He suggested that we leave earlier.
誤:He suggested us to leave earlier.
當然,我們也可以用后接 that 從句的形式來表達此意思(注意謂語用 “should+動詞原形”這樣的虛擬語氣形式)。如:
I suggest that we (should) have lunch right now.
我建議我們現(xiàn)在就吃午飯。
He suggests that we should all go to see the film.
他建議我們都去看電影。
比較以下同義表達:
他建議他們在沒有聽到事實真相之前什么都別說。
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、
混用其后賓語從句的語氣
suggest 后接賓語從句時,從謂語既可用陳述語氣,也可用虛擬語氣,其區(qū)別與 suggest所表示的意思有關:
1. 若suggest 表示“建議”,則其后接的 that 從句謂語通常用“(should)+動詞原形”這樣的虛擬語氣形式。如:
I suggested that she should go home.
我建議她回家去。
She suggested that I (should) be the leader.
她提議由我來做領導人。
2. 若suggest 表示“暗示”“意指”“表明”等義,則其后接的 that 從句要用陳述語氣。如:
What he said suggested that he was a cheat.
他說的話表明他是個騙子。
Are you suggesting that I’m not suited for the job?
你的意思是說我不適合做這工作?
四、
其后誤接雙賓語
要表示向某人提出某情況,suggest后不能接雙賓語,即不能用suggest sb sth,而通常用 suggest sth to sb。如:
我向她提出一個解決問題的辦法。
正:I suggested a way out to her.
誤:I suggested her a way out.
若其中的直接賓語比較復雜(比如是that 從句)時,可考慮改用 suggest to sb sth。如:
我向他建議我們應該用另一種方式處理這個問題。
正:I suggested to him that we should tackle the problem another way.
誤:I suggested him that we should tackle the problem another way.
五、
忽略相關派生名詞的相關用法
按英語習慣,suggest的派生名詞suggestion也具有與其詞根動詞相似的用法,如當suggestion表示“建議”時,若其后接一個that引導的賓語從句,則該從句也習慣上要用“should+動詞原形”這樣的虛擬語氣。如:
The suggestion that shops should open on Sundays led to a heated discussion.
關于商店星期日也應該營業(yè)的提議,引起了激烈的爭論。
There was a suggestion that Brown should be dropped from the team.
有一項建議是布朗應該離隊。
suggest的用法詳解
一、有“建議”的意思。advise、propose也有此意,請比較它們用法的異同:
1) 都可接名詞做賓語
She suggested/advised/proposed an early start. 她建議早一點出發(fā)。
We suggested/advised/proposed a visit to the museum the next day.
我們建議明天去參觀博物館。
2) 都可接動名詞做賓語
I suggested/advised/proposed putting off the sports meet. 我建議將運動會延期。
They suggested/advised/proposed waiting until the proper time.
他們建議(我們)等到恰當?shù)臅r機才行動。
3) 都可接that賓語從句,that從句用should+動詞原形,should可以省略。
She suggested/advised/proposed that the class meeting (should) not be held on Saturday. 她建議班會不要在星期六舉行。
We suggested/advised/proposed that he (should) go and make an apology to his teacher. 我們建議他去向老師道歉。
4) advise可接動詞不定式復合賓語,propose可接不定式做賓語。
I advised him to give up the foolish idea. =I suggested/proposed his/him giving up the foolish idea.
我建議他放棄那愚蠢的念頭。(suggest和propose在口語里可接動名詞的復合賓語)。
We proposed to start early. =We proposed starting early.
我們建議早一點出發(fā)。(接不定式不用suggest和advise)
二、有“提出”的意思。
如:He suggested a different plan to his boss. 他向老板提出了一個不同的計劃。
Xiao Wang suggested a way to solve the problem.
小王提出了一個解決這個問題的辦法。
三、有“暗示、表明”的意思,其主語往往是事物,而不是人。
1) 接名詞或動名詞做賓語。
The simple house suggested a modest income.
這座簡樸的房子表明(房主的)收入并不高。
Her pale face suggested bad health. 她臉色蒼白,看來身體不好。
The thought of summer suggests swimming.
一想到夏天,就使人們聯(lián)想到游泳。
2) 接賓語從句,從句用陳述語氣。如:
The decision suggested that he might bring his family.
這個決定表明他可以把家屬帶來。
The expression on his face suggested that he was very angry.
他臉上的表情表明他很生氣。
四、在主語從句It is suggested that…及名詞suggestion后面表示具體建議的表語從句、同位語從句都應用should+動詞原形,should可以省略。如:
It was suggested that we (should) give a performance at the party.
人們建議我們在晚會上表演節(jié)目。
His suggestion was that the debts (should) be paid off first.
他的建議是先把債務還清。
The doctors made a suggestion that the new hospital (should) not be set up on the hill. 醫(yī)生們建議不要把新醫(yī)院建在山上。
