賓語(yǔ)從句就是在復(fù)合句中作賓語(yǔ)的名詞性從句,通常放在主句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞 (及物動(dòng)詞) 或介詞之后。
1. 作動(dòng)詞的賓語(yǔ)
(1) 由that引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句(that通??梢允÷?, 例如:
I heard that be joined the army. 我聽說(shuō)他參軍了。
(2) 由what, whether (if) 引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句,例如:
a) She did not know what had happened.她不知道發(fā)生了什么。
b) I wonder whether you can change this note for me. 我想知道你是否能幫我改一下筆記。
(3) 動(dòng)詞+間接賓語(yǔ)+賓語(yǔ)從句。例如:
She told me that she would accept my invitation. 她對(duì)我說(shuō)她會(huì)接受我的邀請(qǐng)。
2. 作介詞的賓語(yǔ),例如:
Our success depends upon how well we can cooperate with one another. 我們的成功取決于我們之間的合作。
3. 作形容詞的賓語(yǔ),例如:
I am afraid (that) I’ve made a mistake. 我恐怕我已經(jīng)犯了一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤。
注意:that 引導(dǎo)的從句常跟在下列形容詞后作賓語(yǔ):anxious, aware,
certain, confident, convinced, determined, glad, proud, surprised, worried,
sorry, thankful, ashamed, disappointed, annoyed, pleased, hurt, satisfied,
content 等。也可以將此類詞后的that 從句的看作原因狀語(yǔ)從句。
4. it 可以作為形式賓語(yǔ)
it 不僅可以作為形式主語(yǔ),還可以作為形式賓語(yǔ)而真正的賓語(yǔ)that 從句則放在句尾,特別是在帶復(fù)合賓語(yǔ)的句子中。
例如:
We heard it that she would get married next month. 我聽說(shuō)她下個(gè)朋就會(huì)結(jié)婚了。
5. 后邊不能直接跟that 從句的動(dòng)詞
這類動(dòng)詞有allow, refuse, let, like, cause, force, admire, condemn, celebrate,
dislike, love, help, take, forgive等。這類詞后可以用不定式或動(dòng)名詞作賓語(yǔ),但不可以用that引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句。如:
正確表達(dá):I admire their winning the match.
錯(cuò)誤表達(dá):I admire that they won the match.
6. 不可用that從句作直接賓語(yǔ)的動(dòng)詞
有些動(dòng)詞不可用于“動(dòng)詞+間接賓語(yǔ)+that從句“結(jié)構(gòu)中,常見的有envy, order, accuse, refuse,impress, forgive, blame, denounce, advise, congratulate等。例如:
正確表達(dá):He impressed the manager as an honest man.
錯(cuò)誤表達(dá):He impressed the manager that he was an honest man.
7. 否定的轉(zhuǎn)移
若主句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞為think, consider, suppose, believe, expect, fancy, guess, imagine等,其后的賓語(yǔ)從句若含有否定意義,一般要把否定詞轉(zhuǎn)移到主句謂語(yǔ)上,從句謂語(yǔ)用肯定式。例如:
I don’t think this dress fits you well. 我認(rèn)為這件衣服不適合你穿。
