4. allow, permit, let, promise (1) allow 和 permit 都表示“允许某人做某事”,后面 跟名词、动名词作宾语,跟不定式作宾补。但allow 多表示“听任,不阻止或默许”,即主语对别人所做的 事情置之不管,表示一种“消极”的概念。而permit 多表示一种“积极”的概念,含有“给予某人某种权 利”的意思,多用于正式场合。 We don't allow smoking here. 我们这里不允许吸烟。 Who allowed you to do that? 谁允许你做这件事? Permit me to say a few words. 请允许我说几句话。 Smoking is not permitted here. 此地不准吸烟。 (2) let 表示“让”,多用于口语,“允许”的意味较淡,后 跟不定式作宾补时省略to。 Who let the man enter the room? 谁让那人进来的? (3) promise “答应某人做某事” I promise you to leave. 我答应你(我)走。 [比较] I allow you to leave. 我允许你走。 ☆句型诠释☆ 1. Our eating habits have changed, as has our way of life. 我们的饮食习惯已经发生了变化,生活方式也是一 样。 在此句型中 as 相当于 so,表示前一种情况也同样适 合于后一种。从结构上讲so不是代用词,而是在意 义上相当于 too 和 also 的副词,但常常出现在肯定 句中。 He is a student, so is she. "I have made up my mind." "So have I." 如果是否定的形式,常用 nor 和 neither. "I don't like opera." "Neither / Nor do I." 在这两种结构中,前后时态保持一致。 [比较] so l do 和 so do I (用于对上文进一步肯定或 确认。意为indeed, certainly) You asked me to leave, and so I did. 你要求我离开,我这样做了。 You asked him to leave, and so did I. 你要他离开,我也要他离开。 -- You have spilled coffee on your dress. 你把咖啡洒在你的衣服上了。 -- Oh dear, so I have. 啊呀,我把咖啡洒在我衣服上了。 You have spilled coffee on the table, and so have I. 你把咖啡洒在桌子上了,我也把咖啡洒在桌子上了。 [注意] so it is/ was with...句型的用法。 如果一句话中既有肯定的意思又有否定的意思,且 时态混杂时,我们常用so it is / was with sb. Mr. Smith came to China five years ago and he is used to living in China now. So it is with his wife. 史密斯先生五年前来到中国,他现在习惯了中国的 生活,他妻子也是一样。 (责任编辑:admin) |
