托福备考中,词汇是一个很终于要的环节,下面我们就讲一下不定式作宾语、主语或表语,分别有哪些注意点。
1. 作宾语:不定式多接在谓语动词后作宾语
如:He decided to put in a good word for me at the meeting.
I didn’t expect to hear from you so soon.
常用的可接不定式宾语的动词有:decide, expect, determine, offer, forget, remember, want, prefer, wish, hope, continue, begin, attempt, agree, etc.
例:Human beings are social animals who usually prefer not to live in physical or psychological isolation.
2. 作主语:不定式短语可作主语
如:To see is to believe (百闻不如一见)
To work hard should be your major concern.
注意:由于英文不习惯句子主语过长,不定式主语常被形式主语it所代替(详见第十七章)
例如上面第二句可以变为: It should be your major concern to work hard.
又如: It is very nice of you to help me.
It is hard for you to carry this heavy box.
