使用suggest的常见错点

 

错点一 误用不定式作宾语

要表示汉语的“建议做某事”,英语通常用 suggest doing sth,而不能用 suggest to do sth。如:

他建议坐飞机去,可我认为这样花费太大。

正:He suggested going by plane, but I thought it would cost too much.

误:He suggested to go by plane, but I thought it would cost too much.

汤姆建议把房子卖了,但是安表示反对。

正:Tom suggested selling the house but Ann was against it.

正:Tom suggested to sell the house but Ann was against it.

 

错点二 误接不定式的复合结构作宾语

汉语通常说“建议某人做某事”,但英语习惯上不能说 suggest sb to do sth,而说suggest sb’s [sb] doing sth。也就是说,suggest 后不仅不接不定式,而且也不接不定式的复合结构。如:

他建议我们早点动身。

正:He suggested that we leave earlier.

误:He suggested us to leave earlier.

当然,我们也可以用后接 that 从句的形式来表达此意思(注意谓语用 “should+动词原形”这样的虚拟语气形式)。如:

I suggest that we (should) have lunch right now. 我建议我们现在就吃午饭。

He suggests that we should all go to see the film. 他建议我们都去看电影。

比较以下同义表达:

他建议他们在没有听到事实真相之前什么都别说。

正:He suggested (should) not saying anything till they heard the facts.

正:He suggested saying nothing about it till they heard the facts.

正:He suggested that they shouldn’t say anything till they heard the facts.

 

错点三 混用其后宾语从句的语气

suggest 后接宾语从句时,从谓语既可用陈述语气,也可用虚拟语气,其区别与 suggest所表示的意思有关:

1. 若suggest 表示“建议”,则其后接的 that 从句谓语通常用“(should)+动词原形”这样的虚拟语气形式。如:

I suggested that she should go home. 我建议她回家去。

She suggested that I (should) be the leader. 她提议由我来做领导人。

2. 若suggest 表示“暗示”“意指”“表明”等义,则其后接的 that 从句要用陈述语气。如:

What he said suggested that he was a cheat. 他说的话表明他是个骗子。

Are you suggesting that I’m not suited for the job? 你的意思是说我不适合做这工作?
