Text

I was having dinner at a restaurant when Tony Steele came in. Tony worked in a lawyer's office years ago, but he is now working at a bank. He gets a good salary, but he always borrows money from his friends and never pays it back. Tony saw me and came and sat at the same table. He has never borrowed money from me. While he was eating, I asked him to lend me twenty pounds. To my surprise, he gave me the money immediately. 'I have never borrowed any money from you,' Tony said, 'so now you can pay for my dinner!'

 

參考譯文

Special Difficulties

動詞+名詞/代詞+to的不定式

某些動詞之後的帶to的不定式之前可以有一個名詞或代詞。有些動詞後的名詞/代詞可有可無,但有和沒有經常影響影響整個句子的意義。

I asked him to lend me twenty pounds.

I want to speak to John.

I want you to speak to John.

Would you like to do sth.?

I’d like sb. to do sth.

I’d like to do sth.

還有一些動詞後麵用不定式作賓語時,其後通常必須有一名詞或代詞。這類動詞有allowadvisehelpteachtellrequest等,這類動詞不但可用於主動語態,也可用於被動語態:

  We were not allowed to see the picture.

hope一定不能說hope sb. to do sth.,正確用法是hope to do (希望自己)hope that(希望別人)
