英語是說taste good還是taste to be good?請看題:
The boy said that the fish his mother cooked tasted ______.
A. good B. well
C. to be good D. to be well
【分析】按英語語法,連系動詞后通常接形容詞作表語,而不接副詞,據(jù)此可以排除選項B和D。但到底是應(yīng)選A還是C呢?許多同學(xué)憑感覺認(rèn)為 taste to be good 似乎很通順,于是選了C。但是,錯了,正確答案應(yīng)是A。原因是用作連系動詞的 taste 后習(xí)慣上不接to be。如:
這棵樹上的蘋果味道很好。
正:The apples from this tree taste delicious.
誤:The apples from this tree taste to be delicious.
類似地,feel, smell, sound 等連系動詞后習(xí)慣上也不接不定式 to be。如:
你的想法聽起來很好。
正:Your idea sounds a good one.
誤:Your idea sounds to be a good one.
玫瑰發(fā)出香氣。
正:Roses smell sweet.
誤:Roses smell to be sweet.
比較:seem, appear, prove, turn out, continue 等連系動詞后可以接不定式 to be,也可省略 to be。如:
She seems (to be) a little tired. 她似乎有點(diǎn)累。
He appears (to be) quite young. 他顯得年輕。
The examination turned out (to be) quite easy. 結(jié)果考試相當(dāng)容易。
The weather continued (to be ) fine. 天氣仍然很好(。
注:用作連系動詞的 look 后能否接 to be,各語法家意見不一:有的認(rèn)為可接to be,有的認(rèn)為不能接 to be。為此,建議同學(xué)們以不接 to be 為宜。
