每课一句:新概念英语第1册第105课
【往期回顾】
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。
