understand的用法 常用句式搭配

1. 表示“听说”、“得知”、“推断”等，可接不定式的复合结构或从句等。比较：

我听说他在巴黎。

正：I understand him to be in Paris.

正：I understand that he is in Paris.

我认为他愿意来。

正：I understand him to say that he would come.

正：I understand him as saying that he would come.

注：在简略回答中可用 so 代替前面已出现的 that 从句。如：

A：They are going to get married. 他们要结婚了。

B: I understand so. / So I understand. 听说如此。

2. 表示“明白”、“理解”，其后可接动名词(可带逻辑主语)，但通常不接不定式。如：

那样对待孩子，我不能理解。

正：I can’t understand treating children like that.

误：I can’t understand to treat children like that.

有时可接从句。比较：

你需要换一换环境，这一点我完全理解。

正：I quite understand that you need a change.

正：I quite understand your needing a change.

我不明白他为什么抢劫自己的朋友。

正：I can’t understand why he robbed his friend.

正：I can’t understand his robbing his friend.

3. 用于 make oneself understood, 意为“清楚地表达自己的意思”，注意这里必须用反身代词，同时 understand 要用过去分词形式，而不能用原形。如：

I can’t make myself understood in English. 我不能用英语表达自己的意思。
