suggest的错误用法分析

2016-11-14

下面是小编整理的一些关于suggest的错误用法分析,以供大家学习参考。

一、

误用不定式作宾语

要表示汉语的“建议做某事”,英语通常用 suggest doing sth,而不能用 suggest to do sth。如:

他建议坐飞机去,可我认为这样花费太大。

正:He suggested going by plane, but I thought it would cost too much.

误:He suggested to go by plane, but I thought it would cost too much.

汤姆建议把房子卖了,但是安表示反对。

正:Tom suggested selling the house but Ann was against it.

正:Tom suggested to sell the house but Ann was against it.

二、

汉语通常说“建议某人做某事”,但英语习惯上不能说 suggest sb to do sth,而说suggest sb’s [sb]doing sth。也就是说,suggest 后不仅不接不定式,而且也不接不定式的复合结构。如:

他建议我们早点动身。

正:He suggested that we leave earlier.

误:He suggested us to leave earlier.

当然,我们也可以用后接 that 从句的形式来表达此意思(注意谓语用 “should+动词原形”这样的虚拟语气形式)。如:

I suggest that we (should) have lunch right now.

我建议我们现在就吃午饭。

He suggests that we should all go to see the film.

他建议我们都去看电影。

比较以下同义表达:

他建议他们在没有听到事实真相之前什么都别说。

正:He suggested (should) not saying anything till they heard the facts.

正:He suggested saying nothing about it till they heard the facts.

正:He suggested that they shouldn’t say anything till they heard the facts.

三、

混用其后宾语从句的语气

suggest 后接宾语从句时,从谓语既可用陈述语气,也可用虚拟语气,其区别与 suggest所表示的意思有关:

1. 若suggest 表示“建议”,则其后接的 that 从句谓语通常用“(should)+动词原形”这样的虚拟语气形式。如:

I suggested that she should go home.

我建议她回家去。

She suggested that I (should) be the leader.

她提议由我来做领导人。

2. 若suggest 表示“暗示”“意指”“表明”等义,则其后接的 that 从句要用陈述语气。如:

What he said suggested that he was a cheat.

他说的话表明他是个骗子。

Are you suggesting that I’m not suited for the job?

你的意思是说我不适合做这工作?

四、

其后误接双宾语

要表示向某人提出某情况,suggest后不能接双宾语,即不能用suggest sb sth,而通常用 suggest sth to sb。如:

我向她提出一个解决问题的办法。

正:I suggested a way out to her.

误:I suggested her a way out.

若其中的直接宾语比较复杂(比如是that 从句)时,可考虑改用 suggest to sb sth。如:

我向他建议我们应该用另一种方式处理这个问题。

正:I suggested to him that we should tackle the problem another way.

误:I suggested him that we should tackle the problem another way.

五、

忽略相关派生名词的相关用法

按英语习惯,suggest的派生名词suggestion也具有与其词根动词相似的用法,如当suggestion表示“建议”时,若其后接一个that引导的宾语从句,则该从句也习惯上要用“should+动词原形”这样的虚拟语气。如:

The suggestion that shops should open on Sundays led to a heated discussion.

关于商店星期日也应该营业的提议,引起了激烈的争论。

There was a suggestion that Brown should be dropped from the team.

有一项建议是布朗应该离队。

suggest的用法详解

一、有“建议”的意思。advise、propose也有此意,请比较它们用法的异同:

1) 都可接名词做宾语

She suggested/advised/proposed an early start. 她建议早一点出发。

We suggested/advised/proposed a visit to the museum the next day.

我们建议明天去参观博物馆。

2) 都可接动名词做宾语

I suggested/advised/proposed putting off the sports meet. 我建议将运动会延期。

They suggested/advised/proposed waiting until the proper time.

他们建议(我们)等到恰当的时机才行动。

3) 都可接that宾语从句,that从句用should+动词原形,should可以省略。

She suggested/advised/proposed that the class meeting (should) not be held on Saturday. 她建议班会不要在星期六举行。

We suggested/advised/proposed that he (should) go and make an apology to his teacher. 我们建议他去向老师道歉。

4) advise可接动词不定式复合宾语,propose可接不定式做宾语。

I advised him to give up the foolish idea. =I suggested/proposed his/him giving up the foolish idea.

我建议他放弃那愚蠢的念头。(suggest和propose在口语里可接动名词的复合宾语)。

We proposed to start early. =We proposed starting early.

我们建议早一点出发。(接不定式不用suggest和advise)

二、有“提出”的意思。

如:He suggested a different plan to his boss. 他向老板提出了一个不同的计划。

Xiao Wang suggested a way to solve the problem.

小王提出了一个解决这个问题的办法。

三、有“暗示、表明”的意思,其主语往往是事物,而不是人。

1) 接名词或动名词做宾语。

The simple house suggested a modest income.

这座简朴的房子表明(房主的)收入并不高。

Her pale face suggested bad health. 她脸色苍白,看来身体不好。

The thought of summer suggests swimming.

一想到夏天,就使人们联想到游泳。

2) 接宾语从句,从句用陈述语气。如:

The decision suggested that he might bring his family.

这个决定表明他可以把家属带来。

The expression on his face suggested that he was very angry.

他脸上的表情表明他很生气。

四、在主语从句It is suggested that…及名词suggestion后面表示具体建议的表语从句、同位语从句都应用should+动词原形,should可以省略。如:

It was suggested that we (should) give a performance at the party.

人们建议我们在晚会上表演节目。

His suggestion was that the debts (should) be paid off first.

他的建议是先把债务还清。
