:使用suggest的常见错点分析

  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。
