每课一句:新概念英语第1册第103课

接下来,我们就来看看第105课的“每课一句”。

一、课文原文

Lesson 105 Full of mistakes

Where’s Sandra, Bob? I want her.

Do you want to speak to her?

Yes, I do. I want her to come to my office. Tell her to come at once.

Did you want to see me?

Ah, yes. How do you spell “intelligent”? Can you tell me?

I-N-T-E-L-L-I-G-E-N-T.

That’s right. You’ve typed it with only one “L”. This letter’s full of mistakes. I want you to type it again.

Yes, I’ll do that. I’m sorry about that.

And here’s a little present for you.

What is it?

It’s a dictionary. I hope it will help you.

二、每课一句

I want her to come to my office. Tell her to come at once.

本课继续学习动词不定式to do的用法,只是本课侧重学习的是want和tell与to do的连用。

(一)want

当want后接动词时,就会用到动词不定式to do。这种情况下,有两种用法:

1、sb. want to do sth.

表示“某人想要做某事”,如:

I want to speak to you so badly all these days.

这几天我迫切想和你谈谈。

2、sb. want sb. else to do sth.

表示“某人想要其他人做某事”,如:

The manager wants you to think it over.

经理希望你仔细考虑一下。

【注意】

当需要进行否定表达时,want所在句子的否定一般直接对want进行否定,而不是在to do前面加not。如上面的两个含有to do用法的句子的否定表达为:

I do not want to speak to you so badly all these days.

The manager does not want you to think it over.

(二)tell

当tell后接动词时,也会用到不定式to do结构。其用法一般为:

sb. tell sb. else to do sth.

表示“某人告诉其他人去做某事”,如:

I told him to wait for us at the gate.

我让他在大门口等我们。

【注意】

以上tell的用法如果要改为否定表达,有两种可能性,含义有所不同:

1、否定tell本身

I did not tell him to wait for us a the gate.

我没让他在大门口等我们。

2、否定wait for

I told him not to wait for us at the gate.

我让他不要在大门口等我们。

三、更多拓展

want与tell的其他用法

除了以上跟动词不定式to do的连用外,want和tell还有其他的常见用法。

(一)want

1、sb. want sth.

表示“某人需要某物”,如:

Children want plenty of sleep.

儿童需要较多的睡眠。

She wants a holiday.

她希望一次休假。

有时,也可以用“sb. want sb. else”,表示“某人需要某人或某人找某人有事”,如课文中的这句:

I want her.

我找她有事。

2、sth. want doing

当句子的主语表物时,后接动词的话,要采用doing的形式,即:

sth. want doing

表示“某物需要...”,往往是主动表被动。如:

The bike wants repairing

这辆自行车需要修理了。

上句中的repairing形式上是肯定的,但其实bike与repair之间应该是被动关系,即自行车需要被修理。

(二)tell

tell其实是双宾动词,所以其常见的用法是:

sb. tell sb. else sth.

表示“某人告诉其他人某事”,如:

It's very kind of you to tell me the truth.

你真好,告诉我这真相。
