【摘要】:2013六级考试进入了最后的冲刺阶段,语法的知识点是难点和重点,以下是威廉希尔app 特为考生们整理了2013英语六级语法;关于不定式用作介词宾语的内容,希望能给广大考生们在复习中作出一点贡献。预祝考生们通过考试!
在通常情况下,动词用作介词宾语时要用动名词形式,但也有个别介词要接不定式作宾语,这类介词主要是表示“除……之外”的but和except。
but和except后接不定式时,不定式有时带 to,有时不带 to,情形比较复杂,大致原则是(特殊情况可能有例外):
一、若其前有do,不定式不带to。如:
They did nothing but complain. 他们老是一个劲地抱怨。
He never did anything but watch TV. 除了看电视,他从不干任何事。
I could do nothing except agree. 我除了同意,没有别的办法。
She was willing to do anything except tell me her mane. 她怎么都行,就是不肯把她的名字告诉我。
二、若其前没有do,不定式通常带to。如:
Nothing remains but to die. 除了死,没有别的办法。
I had no choice but to wait. 除了等,我没有别的选择。
It had no effect except to make him angry. 除惹他生气外,没产生任何效果。
I can do nothing for them except to send them money. 我除了给他们寄钱以外,什么也不能帮他们。
但是,表示“除……之外”的besides通常后接动名词。如:
Besides being heartbroken, she felt foolish. 她除了伤心外,还觉得自己很蠢。
The play was badly acted, besides being far too long. 这出戏除了太长之外,演得也不好。
Besides working as a doctor, he also writes novels in his spare time. 除了当医生之外,他还在业余时间写小说。
She often helps others with their studies besides completing her own. 她除了完成自己的学习任务外,还经常帮助别人学习。
不过,若句子里含有实义动词do,则besides后也可接不带to的不定式(不如接动名词普通)。如:
Did he do anything besides hit [hitting] you? 除了打你之外,他们还有没有别的什么举动?
注:虽然介词后直接跟不定式作宾语的用法非常有限,但介词后跟“连接代词或副词+不定式”的用法则比较普通。
