二、基本知识
(一)动词不定式在句中充当的成分
(1)作主语。
例如:To see once is better than to hear a hundred times.
To make money is not the only purpose of our life.赚钱不是我们生活的唯一目的
在很多情况下,常用it 来充当动词不定式的形式主语。
例如:It is important for us to learn English very well.对我们来说学好英语是非常重要的。
(2)作动词的宾语,常用在以下动词后:
help,hope,ask,refuse,decide,promise,wish,pretend,eXPect,arrange,learn,plan,demand,dare,manage,agree,prepare,fail,determine,offer,choose,desire,elect,long,(happen,seem)
例如:He managed to pass the exam.他成功地通过了考试。
He promised to be here at nine.他答应9点钟到这儿。
I didn’t eXPect to see you here.我没有料到在这儿见到你。
在某些复合宾语中,用it做形式宾语,而把不定式放到后面去。
例如:He considered it better to leave now.他认为最好现在就离开。
I found it impossible to finish the work on time.我发现准时完成这项工作是不可能的。
(3)作定语(常置于名词之后)。
由only, last, next 序数词或形容词最高级修饰的名词常用不定式做定语; 不定式还可用作名词
代词的的宾语 (ability, anything, attempt, chance, curiosity, desire, decision, determination, effort, failure,
intention, need, nothing, opportunity, place, plan, promise, reason, right, something)
例如:She is always the first student to arrive at school.
He is always the last one to leave the office.他总是最后一个离开办公室。
I don’t think he is the best man to do the job.我想他不是做这项工作的最佳人选。
I have no desire to travel.
You’ll find something to interest you here.
注:动词不定式to后所接动词若是不及物动词,而不定式与其修饰的动词之间有动宾关系,这个不定式后就应有必要的介词。
例如:I haven’t decided which hotel to stay at.
I found no one to play with.
(4)作状语
例如:I walked slowly on the ice in order not to fall down.(不至于跌倒) (表目的)
They lifted a rock only to drop it on their own feet. (表结果)
He tried only to fail. (结果没有成功)
She was happy to hear the news. (表原因)
不定式常用于修饰下列形容词:
able,afraid,angry, anxious, apt, careful, careless, certain, clever, considerate, delighted, difficult,eager, easy, fit, frightened , happy, interesting, likely, lucky, quick, ready, reluctant , right, sorry, surprised, sure, thoughtful, thoughtless, unable, unwilling, wrong etc.
例如:French is difficult to learn. 法语难学。
I’m sorry to interrupt you, but I have to.
(5)作独立副词成分。
例如:To speak frankly, I don’t like your attitude.
(6)与疑问词连用。疑问代词who, what, which和疑问副词when, where, how等后加动词不定式,构成不定式短语,可在句子中作主语、宾语、表语等成分。
例如:When to start has not been decided.什么时候出发还没有定。
The problem is how to get there on time.问题是怎样才能准时到达哪儿。
注:在有些动词后常用疑问词 + 动词不定式的结构。这类动词有:know, ask, tell, show, wonder,
consider, understand, learn, instruct, guess, see, eXPlain, discover, imagine, think, hear 等。
例如:He didn’t know what to do next.
I haven’t decided whether to go to Japan.我没有决定是否到日本去。
▲不定式的复合结构
由for + 名词或代词 + 动词不定式构成的复合结构在句中可作主语、表语、宾语、状语等。
例如:
非谓语动词(2)
