高二英語語法慣用法:英語可說hope sb to do sth嗎
漢語可說希望某人做某事,但英語習慣上不能說 hope sb to do sth,要表示類似意思,通常后接 that從句。如:
■史密斯先生希望他所有的學生都能考上大學。
誤:Mr Smith hopes all of his students to pass the college entrance examinations.
正:Mr Smith hopes that all of his students can pass thecollege entrance examinations.
另外,有時用 hope for sb to do sth 這樣的形式,即 hope for 后接不定式的復合結構。如:
I hope for him to arrive in time. 我希望他及時趕到。
注意:英語雖然不能說hope sb to do sth,但是可說wish sb to do sth。如:
I wish him to remain. 我希望他留下。
I wish you to be happy. 我祝你幸福。
