及物動詞
在《及物動詞不需要介詞》一文中,談到及物動詞不需要通過介詞引進賓語。但是,當及物動詞有兩個賓語時,有些無須介詞,有些則需要。
兩個賓路都無須介詞的動詞包括下列這些:
① Please show me the letter.
② Can you buy me a meal?
③ I will give you the latest newsletter.
④ John has sent Betty a cheque of $1000.
在①-④這樣的句子里,有個直接賓語,也有個間接賓語。前者一定是“物”、后者一定是“人”。它們之間不需要介詞作橋梁。另一些雙賓語的動詞,就需要介詞的幫助了。關于這點,可以分四方面來談。
Ⅰ.兩個賓語可通過不同介詞對換位置,如:
①a. The boss entrusted him with the job.
b. The boss entrusted the job to him.
②a. He tried to impress the new idea on us.
b. He tried to impress us with the new idea.
③a. A general should inspire his soldiers with great courage.
b. A general should inspire great courage in his soldiers.
Ⅱ.不同介詞,不同意思,如:
④a. Who introduced John to you?
b. Who introduced John into the new office?
⑤a. We warned him of the hazard.
b. We warned him against the hazard.
(a. 指存在的危險;b. 指可能的危險)
⑥a. When compared with each other, there are differences between the twins.
b. We may compare the heart to a pump.
(a. 指同類人或物對比;b.指兩樣不同東西互相比擬)
⑦a. Helen was disappointed of the prize.
b. Helen was disappointed in the prize.
(a. 指沒得獎而失望;b. 指對所得的獎不滿而失望)
⑧a. The cake is allied to the flour.
b. Is Taiwan allied with America?
(a.指兩樣東西有關聯;b. 指兩個國家有聯盟關系)
Ⅲ.兩個賓語與介詞各就各位,固定不變,如:
⑨ The police cautioned the tourists of the danger ahead.(警惕) ⑩ Can a doctor cure June of her chronic illness?(醫治)
● The company has to compensate its staff for their losses.(彌補)
● No one can deprive a citizen of his human right.(剝奪)
Ⅳ.以返身代詞為賓語的慣用語,如: ● I hope you will avail yourself of the golden opportunity. (利用)
● My friends often pride themselves on their rare achievements.(以……自豪)
● Jill knows how to insinuate herself into her boss's favour.(向……獻媚取寵)
● We look down on those ingratiating themselves with their superiors.(討好……)
