知識總結:Suggest句式容易出錯,使用的時候需要注意
這幾天天氣開始冷了,又到了吃火鍋的日子了,肯定會有很多人建議去吃火鍋什么的。那提建議的話用英語該怎么說呢?比如“我提議去飯店吃午飯”是不是應該說“I suggest to go to a restaurant for lunch”。再比如“我提議Peter替我們定位”是不是“I suggest Peter to book a table for us”。那這兩句對不對呢?
如果用中文來想,這兩句都沒有錯。但問題在于“Suggest”這個詞的用法是不應該帶不定式“To”的,它應該帶動名詞,就是在動詞后加“ing”,這與上次講的“Dream”有類似的用法。所以第一句應該是“I suggest going to a restaurant for lunch”。這就是說,如果說“提議去做什么”,都不需要用“To”。比如:
“I suggest going to the park”
“我提議去公園”
“He suggests waiting until the rain stops”
“他提議等到雨停為止”
那么第二句“我提議Peter替我們訂位”是不是可以改為“I suggest Peter booking a table for us”呢?這是不可以的,凡是“Suggest”后面,接賓語從句的話,就要用動詞的原型,不應該用動名詞。也就是說這句應該改為“I suggest Peter book a table for us”。但是我們要留意“Peter”前面可以加“That”,而“Book”前面可以加“Should”。就算“Suggest”加“ed”,后面的動詞要用動詞的原型,不應該加“ed”。
那如果我說“He suggests me to get a job in a bank”,這又對不對呢?這也是錯的,總之,“Suggest”不能夠和賓語加動詞不定式的結構一起用,也就是“Suggest”后面可以加“ing”形式或“That”的從句。我們可以改為“He suggests that I get a job in a bank”,“I”后面有沒有“Should”都可以。
也可以改為“He suggets getting a job in a bank”,但是這里沒有“我”,我們可以在“Getting”前面加上“My”。比如“我提議你申請那份工作”,如果要用“ing”形式,又要保留“你”的意思,可以說“I suggest your applying for the job”。而如果用“You”當做“Your”,是非正式用法。當然,最好用“That”的從句,成為“I suggest that you apply for the job”。再多幾個例子,比如:
“I suggest that we leave early for the airport”
“我提議我們早點去機場”
“Mary suggested that he should wear a jacket”
“Mary提議他穿件外套”
如果有信心不會用錯的話,就可以不用“That”和不用“Should”,最保險的就是又加“That”又加“Should”。
