考点详析

一、 不定式的基本形式

由“to + 动词原形”构成;其否定形式是“not to + 动词原形”,若加强语气可用“never to + 动词原形”。

She promised never to tell a lie again. 她承诺再也不撒谎了。

二、 不定式的时态和语态

不定式一般有时态和语态的变化,通常有下表中的几种形式(下面以do为例):

1. 不定式的时态

(1) 不定式所表达的动作与谓语动词同时发生或在谓语动词之后發生时,不定式用一般式。

They planned to employ some skilled workers. 他们打算雇几个有技术的工人。

(2) 不定式所表达的动作与谓语动词同时发生,并强调动作正在进行或一直在持续,不定式用进行式。

He pretended to be reading when I came in. 当我进来的时候,他假装在看书。

(3) 不定式的动作发生在谓语动词表示的动作之前,不定式用完成式。

The disabled man is said to have translated several novels into French. 据说这个残疾人已将几本小说翻译成法语。

(4) 如果强调不定式所表示的动作从过去某一时刻起一直持续到某一时刻,不定式用完成进行式,此时,强调动作的持续性,不强调结果。

She seems to have been reading the novel for three hours. 好像她已经看了3个小时的小说了。

2. 不定式的语态

当不定式的逻辑主语与不定式是被动关系时,用不定式的被动式。

The novel is said to have been translated into several languages. 据说这部小说已经被翻译成了好几种语言。

三、 不定式的语法功能

不定式在句中不能作谓语,但可以充当主语、表语、宾语、补足语、定语和状语。

1. 不定式作主语

(1) 通常可用动词不定式直接做句子的主语。

To say is one thing; to do is another. 说是一回事;做是另一回事。

(2) 如果不定式太长,为使句子结构匀称,常用it作形式主语,而将真正的主语(不定式)后置,从而构成以下结构:It + be + adj. / n. + to do sth.。

It is not an easy thing to master a foreign language. 掌握一门外语不是件容易的事。

(3) 如果需要说明是谁发出不定式所表示的动作,则要在不定式前加上逻辑主语。于是上述结构要改为:It + be + adj. / n. + for sb. to do sth.。

It's necessary for you to lock the car when you do not use it. 你不用车的时候,锁车是必要的。

(4) 上述结构中的形容词如果是:clever, foolish, silly, stupid, wise, unwise, kind, nice, rude, polite, impolite, careless, careful, cruel, crazy等,表示“对某人的赞扬或指责”,则应把其中的for改为of,即:It + be + adj. / n. + of  sb. to do sth.。

It's wrong of you to make fun of others in public. 你当众取笑别人是不对的。

2. 不定式作表语

不定式可放在系动词后面,作表语。

The problems remain to be settled. 这些问题仍有待于解决。

【注意】 如果不定式对前面do的意思作精确解释,不定式符号to可省略。

All I want to do is (to) thank my teacher for his help. 我想做的就是感谢我的老师给我的帮助。

3. 不定式作宾语

(1) 只跟不定式作宾语的动词主要有:agree, decide, expect, hope, want, manage, pretend, promise, refuse, wish, choose, long (渴望), offer, desire, help, demand, dare, plan, prepare, fail, determine等。

I've arranged to meet him at ten o'clock. 我已经安排十点钟见他。

【注意】 不定式作宾语时,如果后面有宾语补足语,通常用it作形式宾语,将不定式后置。

I find it necessary to get everything ready in time. 我觉得及时把一切都准备好是必要的。

(2) “疑问词 + 不定式”结构在句中可作宾语

能够接“疑问词 + 不定式”作宾语的动词(短语)有:tell, advise, show, teach, find out, decide, discuss, learn, forget, inquire, know, explain, remember, see, understand, wonder 等。疑问词有:who, what, which, when, where和how。

I don't know how to get there. 我不知道怎么去那儿。

【注意】 有时疑问词前也可用介词。

My teacher gave some advice on how to learn a foreign language. 我的老师就如何学习外语提出了一些建议。

4. 不定式作补足语

(1) 在部分感官动词(短语)及使役动词后,用不带to的不定式作宾语补足语,常用的动词(短语)有let, make, have, see, watch, notice, observe, look at, listen to, hear, feel等,help后面有无to都可。

Our English teacher has us listen to English every day. 我們的英语老师让我们每天听英语。

【注意】 把上面句子变成被动语态后,不定式成为句子的主语补足语,需要加上不定式符号to,即在被动语态中不定式一律带to,不存在省略的问题。

He was seen to take away your dictionary. 有人看见他拿走了你的字典。

(2) 在谓语动词think, consider, suppose, believe, imagine, prove, find等后跟to be作宾语补足语,不跟to do,但其中有些可跟to have done作宾补。

We suppose him to have stolen the computer. 我们认为他偷了这台电脑。

5. 不定式作定语

(1) 不定式作定语通常要放在被修饰的词后。不定式作定语时,与前面被修饰的名词有逻辑上的主谓关系或动宾关系,如果不定式是不及物动词或所修饰的名词或代词是不定式动作的地点、工具等,不定式后面须有相应的介词。

She was the first person to think of such a wonderful idea. 她是想出如此绝妙办法的第一人。(主谓关系)

I have a meeting to attend. 我有一个会议要参加。(动宾关系)

Will you please tell me why you had no pen to write with? 请你告诉我为什么你没有笔写?

(2) 当名词被the first, the last, the only等序数词以及形容词最高级修饰时,常用不定式作后置定语,而不管动作是否已完成。

He is the only person to know the truth. 他是唯一知道真相的人。

(3) 不定式所修饰的名词如果是time, place或way时,不定式后面的介词习惯上可省略。

He had no money and no place to live. 他没有钱也没有地方可住。

6. 不定式作状语

(1) 作目的状语。常用的作目的状语的词(短语)有:to... ; only to (仅仅为了); in order to; so as to; so (such)... as to...; enough... to。

He went home to see his mother. 他回家去看望他的母亲。

I turned the radio down so as not to disturb him. 为了不打扰他,我把收音机音量调小。

【注意】 不定式结构表示目的时,通常句子的主语就是它的逻辑主语,但也有例外的情况。

He opened the door for the children to come in. 他打开门让孩子们进来。

(2) 原因状语

They jumped with joy to hear the news. 听到这个消息他们高兴得跳了起来。

(3) 系表结构中,在difficult, easy, hard, interesting, pleasant, nice, fit, dangerous 等词后的不定式常用主动表示被动,并在句中作状语。

The problem is easy to work out. 这些问题容易解决。

(4) 结果状语。表示出乎预料的结果,要放在句子后面。

They lifted a rock only to drop it on their own feet. 他们搬起石头砸了自己的脚。

四、 不定式中的省略

1. 当and或or连接同一概念的不定式时,或者当它们之间为并列关系时,可将and或or后面的to省去。

I'd like to go and see a film. 我想去看部电影。

但是,有时为了表示对照或加强语气,则to不可以省去。

It is easier to say than to do. 说起来容易做起来难。

2. 不定式在一部分感官或使役动词后面作宾补省略to。(见前面宾语补足语)

3. 在介词but, except, besides后面的不定式,如果这些介词前面有do作实意动词的相应形式,那么不定式符号to则要去掉,否则不能去掉to。

What do you like to do besides swim? 除了游泳之外你还喜欢做什么?

4. 在why not do sth., had better do sth., would rather do sth.等固定句型中,不定式省略to。

Why not take a holiday? 为什么不去度假?

5. to可以代表整个不定式:有时为了避免重复,须省去不定式后面的内容,保留不定式符号to,如果是to be / have,保留到be或have。

You can't come into the lab if your teacher doesn't allow you to. 如果你的老师不允许你进入实验室,你就不能进去。
