内容正文:
e.g. He is glad to help others.
John was fortunate to escape being injured.
I’m determined to finish the work tonight.
注意:如果主句主语不是不定式结构的逻辑主语,逻辑主语的引出方式:
1. 用for引出
e.g. We’d be delighted for you to come next week.
I’d be afraid for her to go swimming alone.
主句主语是不定式结构的逻辑主语

2. 不定式为不及物动词时,后面一定要带介词
e.g. This bed is comfortable to sleep on.
= It is comfortable to sleep on the bed.
主句主语是不定式结构的逻辑宾语

能用于这种结构的形容词都是表示不定式性质的静态形容词,即表示说话人对不定式动作的看法或感受。
提示
为避免丢掉介词的错误,不妨将其转换为it-结构作为检验,比如,该句可转换为“It is comfortable to sleep on the bed.”。

语义上:主—动关系、动—宾关系、同位关系
e.g. He was the last guest to arrive. (= who arrived)
主谓关系
He has a large family to support. (= that he must support)
动宾关系
He hit back the urge to tell a lie.
(to tell a lie是the urge的具体内容) 同位关系
主—动关系、动—宾关系、同位关系

4. consider,declare,find (=consider),prove,think,believe,discover,feel (=think),imagine,judge,suppose,understand等表心理状态的动词
e.g. We considered him to be a good officer.

后面的不定式通常是to be,在consider,declare,find,prove,think等动词后to be往往省略(完成体除外,因为如省略to be就无法体现时间的先后),多用于书面语。
这类结构都可与that-分句进行转换,转换时注意时态,与that-从句连用更为常见。如“I thought him to be an excellent choice.”,更常见的说法是“I thought that he was an excellent choice.”。

e.g. I hope to be able to come.
= ... (that) I’ll be able to come.

B. 无引导词直接带主语(独立结构的一种情况)
e.g. A number of officials followed the emperor, some to hold
his robe, others to adjust his girdle, and so so.
with sb. to do传统上也叫with复合结构,主要用作状语,表达原因、方式、伴随等情况。rather than sb. do用于两个平行结构,置于句首表对照,意为“与其某人做…”。

该题考查不定式结构only to do作结果状语的用法。不定式结构可作结果状语,有时前面用only,以加强出乎意料的语气,通常是不愉快的结果。因此C项“表明一种不合意的结果”为正确答案。A项“表达预期的目的”,B项“表示很大的可能性”,D项“夸大陈述的事实”均不正确。
她雇了一名律师来调查,不料却发现加布里埃尔早已从契约中删除了她的名字。动词不定式词组“only to learn”被用来______。

claims
confirms
该题考查动词claim接不定式作宾语的用法。动词claim后接不定式作宾语,claim to have done意为“声称曾做过”,declare和confess都不能直接跟不定式作宾语,只能先接宾语再接不定式to be结构,搭配confess to doing中to为介词,confirm不能接不定式作宾语,因此C为正确答案。
那位新同事声称在加盟本公司之前曾在几家大公司工作过。

The three men tried many times to sneak across the border into the neighboring country, _________ by the police each time.
A.
B.
C.
D.
had been captured
being always captured
only to be captured
unfortunately captured
该题考查不定式only to do作结果状语的用法。不定式可作结果状语,有时前面用only,以加强出乎意料的语气,通常是不愉快的结果,该句即表达出乎意料的结果,因此C为正确答案。
那三个人多次企图偷越边界进入邻国,结果每次都被警察抓住。

The Clarks haven’t decided yet which hotel ________.
A.
B.
C.
D.
to stay
is to stay
to stay at
is for staying
该题考查“疑问词+不定式”结构作宾语。此种结构要求不定式的逻辑主语必须与句子的主语一致,又因为stay为不及物动词,后面必须接介词at,因此C为正确答案。

本讲主要介绍了不定式与形容词、名词、动词的搭配关系以及不定式分句。学习不定式与形容词的搭配关系时,重点理解主句主语与不定式结构的逻辑语义关系,是逻辑主语还是逻辑宾语,能否用先行it-句型予以转换。学习不定式与名词的搭配关系时,重点理解不定式结构与其所修饰名词之间的三种逻辑语义关系,其中同位关系的理解是难点。学习不定式与动词的搭配关系时,首先理解不定式作宾语时,一般表示特殊的、具体的、未发生的、一次性的行为,难点是记忆能与不定式搭配的动词,这些动词可以利用熟词带生词、近义词、反义词等方式帮助记忆。不定式分句的学习要在理解不定式分句概念的基础上掌握不定式分句的三种结构模式:不带主语、带主语、带疑问词;不定式分句的句法功能要理
本讲总结
解不定式分句属于从属分句的范畴,既能充当分句成分,也能充当词组成分,重点掌握不定式分句作三种状语:表示目的、表示结果、表示原因,熟悉表示结果的几种常见结构。
