make宾语补足语
make用作使役动词表示 “使;使成为” 时,可跟复合结构,即“make+宾语+宾语补足语”,其中的宾语补足语可以是不带to的不定式、过去分词、形容词或名词。现将make的复合宾语结构小结如下:
一、“make+宾语+n.” 意为“使、让某人 / 某物(成为)……”。如:
We made him captain of our football team. 我们推选他作我们足球队队长。
We made him our monitor. 我们选他当班长。
二、“make+宾语+adj.” 意为 “使某人 / 某事(变得)……”。如:
The news that our team had won made us very happy. 我们队赢了的消息使我们大家非常高兴。
We must make the rivers clean. 我们必须净化河水。
友情提示:当宾语是不定式短语或从句时,多用it作形式宾语。如:
I made it a condition that everybody must be on time. 我提出一个条件,人人都要准时。
The heavy rain made it impossible for us to go out. 大雨使得我们无法出去。
三、“make+宾语+do sth.(不带to的不定式)”意为 “使某人做某事”。如:
What makes the grass grow? 什么东西使得草生长?
Our teacher makes us feel more confident. 老师使得我们感到更自信了。
友情提示:在被动语态中,此类结构中省略的动词不定式 to 要还原。如:
The boy was made to work twelve hours a day. 这个男孩被迫每天干十二个小时的活。
Every day I am made to have an egg and some milk. 我每天不得不吃一个鸡蛋,喝一些牛奶。
相关链接:have, make, let等使役动词和see, hear, listen to, look at, watch, notice, observe 等感官动词都可接不带to的不定式作宾补。help后可带to,也可不带to。如:
Let him do whatever he wishes to do. 他想干什么就让他干吧。
Did you see him go out? 你看见他出去了吗?
I often help my mother (to) do some housework. 我经常帮助妈妈做些家务。
四、“make+宾语+V-ed(过去分词作宾补)”这个结构指宾语接受后面的那个动作,表示被动的意思,意为 “使某人 / 某事被……”。如:
The strange noise made us frightened. 奇怪的声音使我们感到恐惧。
The good news made us excited. 这个好消息使我们兴奋。
友情提示:通常情况下,make后的宾语是反身代词时,作宾补的动词要用过去分词,即:make oneself+V-ed (heard, known, understood)。如:
He couldn't make himself heard above the noise of the traffic. 在交通嘈杂声中他无法使自己的声音提高到让别人听到。
3. But he says too much regulation could kill it.
too much到了不能容忍的地步
例句:Some children strained their eyes by watching TV too much.
有些小孩因看太多电视而损坏了眼睛。
