動(dòng)詞suggest有如下一些用法:
一、 有"建議"的意思.advise也有此義,請(qǐng)比較它們用法的異同:
1) 都可接名詞作賓語
She suggested / advised an early start.她建議早一點(diǎn)出發(fā).
We suggested / advised a visit to the museum the next day.我們建議明天去參觀博物館.
2) 都可接動(dòng)名詞作賓語
I suggested / advised putting off the sports meet.我建議將運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)延期.
They suggested / advised waiting until the proper time.他們建議(我們)等到恰當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)機(jī)才行動(dòng).
3) 都可接that 賓語從句,that從句用should+動(dòng)詞原形,should可以省略.
She suggested / advised that the class meeting (should) not be held on Saturday.她建議班會(huì)不要在星期六舉行.
We suggested / advised that he (should) go and make an apology to his teacher.我們建議他去向老師道歉.
4) advise 可接動(dòng)詞不定式復(fù)合賓語I advised him to give up the foolish idea.= I suggested his / him giving up the foolish idea.我建議他放棄那愚蠢的念頭.(suggest在口語里可接動(dòng)名詞的復(fù)合賓語).
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.他向老板提出了一個(gè)不同的計(jì)劃.
Xiao Wang suggested a way to solve the problem.小王提出了一個(gè)解決這個(gè)問題的辦法.
三、 有"暗示、表明"的意思.其主語往往是事物,而不是人.
1)接名詞或動(dòng)名詞作賓語.
The simple house suggested a modest income.這座簡(jiǎn)樸的房子表明(房主的)收入并不高.
Her pale face suggested bad health.她臉色蒼白,看來身體不好.
The thought of summer suggests swimming.一想到夏天就使人們聯(lián)想到游泳.
2)接賓語從句,從句用陳述語氣.如:
The decision suggested that he might bring his family.這個(gè)決定表明他可以把家屬帶來.
The expression on his face suggested that he was very angry.他臉上的表情表明他很生氣.
四、 在主語從句It is suggested that...及名詞suggestion 后面表示具體建議的表語從句、同位語從句都應(yīng)用should+動(dòng)詞原形,should可以省略.如:
It was suggested that we (should) give a performance at the party.人們建議我們?cè)谕頃?huì)上表演節(jié)目.
His suggestion was that the debts (should) be paid off first.他的建議是先把債務(wù)還清.
The doctors made a suggestion that the new hospital (should) not be set up on the hill.醫(yī)生們建議不要把新醫(yī)院建在山上.
不可以變成suggest sb to do sth!
