for sb to do sth用作宾语

for sb to do sth用作宾语

for sb to do sth在句子中可有作宾语。如：

She hates for people to feel sad. 她不愿看到人们忧心忡忡。

They didn’t mean for her to read the letter. 他们并未打算让她看那封信。

I would like for you to stay as long as you want. 我希望你留下来，想留多久就留多久。

注：这类结构用作宾语的情形主要见于非正式的美国英语中，且主要限于like, hate, mean, intend等少数动词。不过，当有形式宾语时，这类结构用作宾语的情况倒是很普遍(注意形式宾语的使用)。如：

I thought it strange for her to be out so late. 她这么晚还不回来，我觉得有些奇怪。
