【用作宾补】
不定式和分词都可用作宾语补足语。
1. 不定式作宾语补足语表示动作的全过程,且动作已完成。有时还可表示一般事实。现在分词作宾语补足语表示主动,动作正在进行;过去分词作宾语补足语表示被动,以及动作的完成。
① When I caught him cheating me, I stopped buying things there. 当我抓到他欺*我时,我就不再在那儿买东西了。
② Don't get your schedule changed; stay with us. 不要改变你的安排,跟我们在一起吧。
③ You can count on us to give you full support. 你放心,我们会全力支持你的。
2. 一些动词,如have, make, let; see, watch, observe, perceive, notice; feel, smell, hear, listen to等,要求用不带to的动词不定式作宾补。
① We saw him go out. 我们看见他出去了。
② Suddenly we felt the atmosphere grow tense. 突然我们感到气氛紧张了起来。
但这种句子如果变为被动结构,to就必须要恢复。
① They were made to work day and night. 他们被迫日夜工作。
3. 动词不定式带to与不带to的小结。
1)在had better, would rather, would sooner, would just as soon,might(just) as well, can not but等搭配之后,动词不定式不带to。
① They cannot but accept his idea. 他们不得不接受他的主意。
② I'd rather not have classes in the morning. 我不愿意上午上课。
2) 在介词except, but之后,如果其前有动词do的某种形式,不定式一般不带to;反之则须带to。
① There's nothing to do except wait for another train. 没有办法只有等下一列火车了。
② There's nothing else to do but send for the doctor. 别无它法只好请大夫了。
③ Nothing could save the company but to reform. 只有改革才能挽救这个公司。
3)连词rather than, sooner than置于句首时,其后的不定式不带to。
Rather than cause trouble, I am going to forget the whole affair. 我想把这事完全忘掉,而不是若麻烦。
4)在Why, Why not结构中,紧接其后的动词不定式总是不带to。
① Why argue with him? 为什么跟他争吵呢?
② Why not send her some flowers? 为什么不送她一些花呢?
