非谓语所表示的含义(与非谓语的来龙去脉)
非谓语所表示的含义(与非谓语的来龙去脉)I don't want you to come in at two a.m. waking me up. (正式且常见)我不想你凌晨两点进来叫醒我。我不想有人因为这事对我指手画脚。I don't want anyone to come back at me over this. (正式且常见)I don't want anyone coming back at me over this. (非正式且少见)
kids to have the best possible education.
我们想让孩子们接受尽可能最好的教育。
解析:动作是 kids 发出的,所以是 kids 接受教育。
如果你还能用 google 的话,当你去 google 的时候,你会发现还有 want sb doing sth,其实它跟 want sb to do sth 类似,只是它比较口语化或不正式,而且动作还是 sb 发出来的,例如:
我不想有人因为这事对我指手画脚。
I don't want anyone to come back at me over this. (正式且常见)
I don't want anyone coming back at me over this. (非正式且少见)
我不想你凌晨两点进来叫醒我。
I don't want you to come in at two a.m. waking me up. (正式且常见)
I don't want you coming in at two a.m. waking me up. (非正式且少见)
但是无论是 want sb to do 还是 want sb doing sth,want 后面跟的参数要不多不少两个,什么意思呢?就是 want sb's doing sth 是错的,因为 sb's doing sth 是动名词的复合结构,是属于一个整体,例如:
I don't want your sitting there all day.
I don't want your arriving late.
当表示希望某事发生时用 want sth to do/be done,其中 sth 和 to do 或 to be done 是逻辑上的主谓或动宾关系,例如:
We didn't want this to happen.
我们并不希望发生这样的事情。
I want the job to be done perfectly.
我希望这项工作能完美地完成。
还有一个很常见的是 want sth adj 这个结构,它也是非正式的用法,对应的完整的形式是:want sth to be adj;其中的形容词可以是常规形容词和分词形容词(done),例如:
Do you want this pie (to be) hot?
你要热的果馅饼吗?
Do you want your coffee (to be) black or white?
你的咖啡里加不加奶?
The host will want the total amount (to be) checked before paying the bill.
主人在付账单前要核对总金额。
Do you want the package (to be) sent today?
你要今天寄包裹吗?
总结一下就是,want 后面可以跟非谓语中的三种形式,包括不定式、动名词和分词,但最为常见的是不定式((sb) to do 或 to be done)。
