lesson 8The 8th lesson不定式是动词的一种非限定形式,通常前面带有小品词to,有时也可不带to,它可以和助动词或情态动词构成谓语:They will set up more evening schools next year. 他们明年要办更多的夜校。We mustn't fall behind the others. 我们一定不要落在别人后面。也可以作主语(a)、宾语(b)、表语(c)、定语(d)或是状语(e):a.To scold her would not be just. 责备她是不公平的。b.We are planning to build a reservoir here. 我们计划在这里修一座水库。C.One of our main tasks now is to mechanize agriculture. 我们当前的主要任务之一是实现农业机械化。d.Do you have anything to declare? 你有什么要申报吗?e. We have come to learn from you. 我们是来向你们学习的。有时它还可以构成复合结构(类似汉语语法中的主谓结构),作复合宾语等:He wants all of us to make rapid progress. 他希望我们大家都迅速进步。不定式在句子里虽能担任种种成分,但它毕竟是一个动词,因此具有动词的许多特点。它可以有自己的宾语(a)或状语(b),来和它构成不定式短语:a.Would you like to tell me how you overcame the difficulties? 你可不可以告诉我你们怎样克服困难的?b.I prefer to go there by bike. 我宁愿骑车去。还有下面种种形式:主 动 形 式 被 动 形 式一般式 to do; to be done;完成式 to have done; to have been done;进行式 to be doing; ________完成进行式 to have been doing; _________另外,不定式虽然在语法上不能有主语,但由于表示的是动作,在意思上是可以有主语的,这个主语可以称为逻辑上的主语(the Logical Subject),以区别于语法上的主语。例如在We came to study.中,we是句子里的主语,同时也是to study的逻辑上的主语;又如在We'll send him to study abroad.中,him是句子里的宾语,而且是to study逻辑上的主语。不定式的逻辑上的主语,可以是句子中的主语、宾语等,也可以由一个用for引起的短语表示,例如:It is difficult for a foreigner to learn Chinese. 外国人学汉语是不容易的
