[知识讲解]
[点击一] 使役动词和复合宾语
[归纳] 英语中有些动词常用来表示 “让……,使……,强制……”的意思,这类动词我们称为使役动词,常见的使役动词有make, have, get, let, keep等。使役动词后加了宾语后,可用形容词、名词、动词不定式、分词等充当宾语补足语,来补充说明其宾语的成分。我们可以将宾语和宾语补足语合称为 “复合宾语”。例如:
The bad news made her sad.
这个不幸的消息使她悲伤。
My parents want to make me a teacher.
我的父母想要我成为一名教师。
You must get them to come over here.
你得想法让他们到这儿来。
Don’t keep her standing in the rain.
别让她在雨中站着。
I’m going to have my hair cut tomorrow.
我明天将去理发。
Will you let me use your bike?
你让我用你的自行车吗?
[点击二] make+宾语+宾语补足语
[归纳] “make+宾语+宾语补足语”有以下几种形式:
1. make+宾语+形容词 这种结构的意思为 “使……处于某种状态”。 此处的形容词一般表示人的感受或情绪。例如:
The color “red” makes people warm and “blue” makes people cool.
红色使人感到温暖,而兰色使人感到凉爽。
如题1中的interesting(修饰物)和题2中的angry都是形容词,故答案分别选C和D。又如题11也属此类。
2. make+宾语+名词 这种结构的意思为 “使或让某人成为……”或“使……当……”。注意宾语一般是人。
They made me monitor.
他们选我当班长。
如题3 意思是 “他娶她为妻。” 故答案选C。又如题12也属此类。
3. make+宾语+不带to的动词不定式 这种结构的意思为 “迫使或强制某人做某事”,后接不带 to的动词不定式作宾语补足语。宾语与宾语补足语存在逻辑上的主谓关系。如题4D和题13。例如:
You can’t make us go if we don’t want to.
如果我们不想走,你就不能让我们走。
[拓展]在此结构中,除了make之外,使役动词have, let后也接不带 to的动词不定式作宾语补足语。如题5A。但使役动词get后接带 to的动词不定式作宾语补足语。如题6B。keep一般不跟带动词不定式的复合结构。
4. make+宾语+现在分词 这种结构的意思为 “使或让某人一直处于某种状态”,宾语补足语表示动作正在发生或进行。宾语与宾语补足语存在逻辑上的主谓关系。如题7C和题14。例如:
They made the guests waiting for hours there.
他们让客人在那里等了好几个小时。
5. make+宾语+过去分词 这种结构的意思为 “使或让别人做某事”,宾语补足语与宾语存在逻辑上的动宾关系。如题15。例如:
You should make your views known.
你应该让别人了解你的观点。
[拓展]
1. 在使役动词have, get后面作宾语补足语,经常表示“请别人做某事”或“安排某人做某事”。如题8A、9A。例如:
Mike had the house repaired yesterday afternoon.
迈克昨天下午请人修房屋。
Why don’t you get your car washed?
你为什么不叫人清洗你的小汽车呢?
2. 在此结构中,过去分词作宾语补足语,宾语和该句的主语若指的是同一人时,宾语一般要用与主语一致的反身代词。如题15。
I speak slowly to make myself understood.
我说得慢,以便使人人都能听懂我的话。
[点击三] 使役动词的被动语态
[归纳] 在以动词不定式作宾语补足语的复合结构中,使役动词的被动语态应注意的几种情况:
1. make可使用于被动语态结构中,其结构为“ be made to+动词原形”。 如题10B和题16。例如:
Though he had often made his little sister cry, today he was made to cry by his little sister.
尽管过去他经常把他的小妹妹弄哭,但是今天他却被他的小妹妹弄哭了。
2. let可用于被动语态结构,其后不定式可带to,也可不带to。但这种结构很少使用。例如:
He was not let (to) smoke by his father.
他的父亲不允许他吸烟。
3. have 和get无被动语态结构。
