综合类考试:重点语法知识点详解动宾关系
I have a meeting to attend.
注意:不定式为不及物动词时,所修饰的名词如果是地点、工具等,应有必要的介词,如:
He found a good house to live in.
The child has nothing to worry about.
如果不定式修饰time、place、way可以省略介词:
He has no place to live.
This is the best way to work out this problem.
如果不定式所修饰名词是不定式动作承受者,不定式可用主动式也可用被动式:
Have you got anything to send?
Have you got anything to be sent?
②说明所修饰名词的内容:
We have made a plan to finish the work.
③被修饰名词是不定式逻辑主语:
He is the first to get here.
【练习】
1. "Do you like the material?" "Yes, it _____ very soft."
A. is feeling B. felt C. feels D. is felt
【解析】此题正确答案为C,因为 feel 在此为连系动词,而连系动词均为不及物动词,不能用于被动语态,尽管有时其汉语意思有被动意味。
2. He was angry _____ your work. He said that he _____ at all.
A. at, didnt satisfy B. to, didnt satisfy
C. at, wasnt satisfied D. to, wasnt satisfied
【解析】最佳答案为C. be angry at (about) sth 意为“对某事生气”,许多同学常按汉语意思将其中的介词 at (about)换成 to,这是错误的。另外,许多同学将汉语的“不满意”直译为 not satisfy,这是不对的,因为satisfy在现代英语中只用作及物动词,其意不是“满意”而是“使(人)满意”,所以其后不能没有宾语,除非本身是被动语态(或是系表结构)。
3. If you want to sell your product you must _____ it.
A. advertise B. advertise for C. advertise on D. advertise to
【解析】事实上,正确答案为A. advertise 可用作及物和不及物动词:用作及物动词时,其意为“为……做广告”、"登广告宣传";用作不及物动词时,其意为“做广告”、“登广告”,此时通常后接介词 for,表示“做广告征求”。比较:
