基础点
1 不定式作状语
不定式常可用作目的状语、结果状语或原因状语,相当于一个状语从句。
(1)作目的状语
不定式作目的状语,可用so as to/in order to替换,但so as to一般不可置于句首,意为“为了;想要”。
So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to_cheer_her_up. [福建高考]
因此,我们走到卖花者面前,问她我们能不能买一枝花给那位女士以让她高兴起来。
In_order_to_answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.[安徽高考]
为了回答这个问题,我们必须首先检查人们是否真地想保护一个地区的历史遗迹。
(2)作结果状语
不定式用于so...as to...(如此……以至于……),such...as to...(如此……以至于……),enough to do...(足够做……),too...to do...(太……而不能),only to do(表示意外结果或事与愿违的结果)等结构中常用来表结果。
Eventually Mildred felt comfortable enough__to_jump_up on Tom's leg and stay long enough for me to get a picture of the two of them together.[四川高考]
最终,米尔德里德感到足够的舒适,可以跳到汤姆的腿上呆足够长的时间,而我可以为他们两个一起拍照。
How often do you have something you want to achieve—only_to_end_up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?[全国卷Ⅰ]
你多久会遇到一次这样的情况:你想得到一些东西,结果却被摆在你面前的选择所困惑,停滞不前?
I rushed to the station, only_to_find the train had already gone.
我匆忙赶到火车站,却发现火车已经开走了。
特别提醒
不定式作结果状语时,常用于so...as to..., such...as to..., enough to..., too...to..., only to等结构中。如:
She was so late as_to miss half of the lecture.
她来得如此晚以至于错过了一半的演讲。
She is such a good teacher as_to be respected by all her students.
她是个如此好的老师,以至于受到她所有学生的尊敬。
(3)作原因状语
不定式作原因状语,常用在“主语+系动词+形容词+to do”结构中。这类形容词有:easy, difficult, hard, cheap, expensive, fit, comfortable, heavy, good, important, impossible, dangerous, surprised, astonished, delighted, disappointed等,表示主语的特征、性质或说明产生这种情感的原因。
The book is very hard_to_understand.
这本书很难理解。
We were_astonished_to_find the temple still in its original condition.
令我们吃惊的是,这座寺庙仍保持着最初的样子。
特别提醒
在“主语+系动词+形容词+to do sth.”结构中,不定式和其所修饰的名词之间存在被动关系,但其逻辑宾语就是句子的主语,所以常用主动形式表示被动意义。
When I told her the air would be_hard_to_breathe (=the air would be hard for us to breathe) and it would be very cold, she said it would be an interesting experience.
当我告诉她空气会难以呼吸而且天气会非常寒冷时,她说那将是一次有趣的经历。
