vt.暗示; 建议,提议; 使想起; 启示;
suggest 表示“建议”或“提出(意见、计划等)”意思时有三种用法:
1. 只能用动名词作宾语
1)主语也参与提议的动作,如:
He suggested going out for a walk. 他建议出去走走。
2)主语建议他人做某事,如:
He suggested us going out for a walk. 他建议我们出去走走。(此句也可以改为 He suggested our going out for a walk.这里的 one doing 或 one's doing 称做动名词的复合结构,其中的代词 one 或 one's 是动名词的逻辑主语)
由此证明“别班老师说 suggest sb doing sth 固定搭配”是完全正确的。
2. 跟宾语从句,但是从句中必须用 should do 或者省略 should 直接用动词原形 do,如:
He suggested that we (should) take a walk. 他提议我们去散步。
由此证明“代课老师说 suggest sb do sth,suggest后省略 that ,sb后省略 should”也是正确的。
3. 用名词作宾语,构成 suggest sth. for sb. to do, 表示建议某事让某人去做。如:
He suggested a plan for us to draw up 他提出一个计划让我们去制定。
由此证明“ suggest sb to do sth 后面的作宾补”是错误的说法。
1. suggest表示提出建议
若suggest表示“建议”,后接从句所表示的内容为建议要做的事情,也就是说从句所描述的内容尚未成为事实,此时从句谓语要用虚拟语气,即谓语采用“should+动词原形”,其中的should在美国英语中通常被省略。如:
I suggest that we (should) have lunch now. 我建议我们现在吃午饭。
He suggested that she (should) come another day. 他建议她改天再来。
2. suggest表示陈述事实
若宾语从句的内容表示的是已经存在的真实情况,则用陈述语气,此是suggest的意思是“暗示”“表明”“指出”“提出(看法)”等。如:
His smile suggested that he was satisfied. 他的微笑表明他是满意的。
I’m not suggesting that the accident was your fault. 我并不是说这个事故是你的错。
Others suggest that they two will be equals. 其他人认为他们俩将是势均力敌。
注意,除suggest外,advise, propose等在表示“建议”时,若后接宾语从句,从句也应使用“should+动词原形”这样的虚拟语气,其中的should在美国英语中通常被省略。如:
He advised that I (should) write her a letter. 他建议我给她写封信。
The doctor advised that he (should) change his job. 医生建议他改换工作。
I propose that they should stay here. 我建议他们留在这里。
