動詞不定式
意義、形式和特征
1)基本概念和形式動詞不定式(infinitive)是一種非限定動詞,由不定式符號to加動詞原形所構(gòu)成。動詞不定式有動詞的特征,同時也有名詞、形容詞和副詞的特征。
2)動詞不定式的動詞特征
a)如果動詞不定式是及物的,須有賓語。如:
He wants to study Japanese.他想學(xué)習(xí)日語。(動詞不定式to study后面有賓語Japanese)
b)動詞不定式可以被狀語修飾。如:
The rain continued to fall heavily.雨繼續(xù)下得很大。(動詞不定式to fall后面有狀語heavily)
動詞不定式加賓語或狀語構(gòu)成動詞不定式短語,如上二例中的to study Japanese和to fall heavily.
3)動詞不定式的非動詞特征
用法動詞不定式具有名詞、形容詞和副詞的特征,所以它在句子中可用作主語、表語、賓語、定語和狀語。
1)主語
To lean out of the window is dangerous.把身子伸出窗外是危險的。
To talk with him is a great pleasure.和他談話是一件非常愉快的事。
To die for the people is a glorious death!為人民而死,雖死猶榮。
動詞不定式短語作主語時,往往放在謂語動詞的后面,而在句首用引詞“作語法上的主語。上述兩句即可改為:
It is a great pleasure to talk with him.
It is a glorious death to die for the people.
注意也常用“It is+形容詞+動詞不定式短語”這樣的句型:
It is necessary to make a plan for this course of study.必須訂一個學(xué)習(xí)這門課程的計(jì)劃。
It is not difficult to learn a foreign if you spend time and effort on it.小只要你花時間下功夫,學(xué)好一門外國語并不難。
It's just impossible to see that and not weep.看見那種情景而不哭是根本不可能的。(注意weep之前省去了to,以免重復(fù))
2)表語
Her wish is to become an astronaut.她的愿望是成為一名宇航員。
Our plan is to finish the work in two weeks.我們的計(jì)劃是在兩周內(nèi)完成這項(xiàng)工作。
His only desire was to be useful to the country.他唯一的愿望是做一個對國家有用的人。
3)賓語有些及物動詞常用動詞不定式作賓語。這些動詞有want(想要),wish(想望),like(喜歡),decide(決定),help(幫助),pledge(保證),begin(開始),forget(忘記),learn(學(xué)習(xí)),ask(要求)等等。動詞不定式一般不作介詞的賓語。如:
He wants to be a village school teacher in a mountain area.他要做個山村教師。
Do you like to watch football matches?你喜歡看足球賽嗎?
Learn to walk before you run.先學(xué)走后學(xué)跑。
We decided to make changes in our plan.我們決定把計(jì)劃做些修改。
動詞不定式也可以用來作某些形容詞的賓語。這些形容詞通常只有ready(準(zhǔn)備好,愿意),eager(急于),anxious(急于)等,但為了學(xué)習(xí)上的方便,也可以包括able(能夠),sure(一定),glad(高興),sorry(難過),afraid(怕),free(隨意),pleased(高興),determined(決心),willing(愿意)等。如:
He is sure to succeed.他肯定會成功。
How do you do? I'm glad to meet you.你好?見到你很高興。
The boys and girls are anxious to learn how to skate.這些男孩子和女孩子渴望學(xué)會滑冰。
