(Get the students to read the grammar explanations in RB or Appendix by themselves and complete the exercises in RB in advance.)
I 动词不定式概述:
动词不定式是一种非谓语动词,其形式是“to+动词原形”,但有时也不带to。其否定是在to前面加上not,及即“not to+动词原形”。动词不定式没有人称和数的变化,在句中不能作谓语,可以作谓语以外的其它句子成分,即主语、宾语、表语、定语、状语、宾语补足语。
II 不定式作定语
1. 中心词被形容词最高级、序数词或all, any, no, only等限定词限定时,后接不定式(短语)作定语。
e.g. China has become the first country to land a spacecraft on the far side of the moon.
中国已成为首个将探测器在月球背面着陆的国家。
He is the only person to know the truth. 他是唯一知道真相的人。
2. 不定式里的动词与被修饰的词之间有动宾关系,且句中有该不定式的逻辑主语时,该不定式通常用主动形式表被动意义;若是不及物动词,其后还要加上适当的介词。
e.g. The manager is particular about the paper to write on. 经理对写字的纸很挑剔。
There are so many good cafes and restaurant to choose from.
3. 表示将要发生的动作,常用不定式表达。
e.g. I can’t go out with you, because I have lots of homework to do.
我不能和你出去,因为我有许多作业要做。
Nuclear power could be an important source of energy for many years to come.
在 随后的多年里,核能会成为一种重要的能源。
4. 常用在抽象名词attempt,ability,belief,chance,decision,desire,effort,determination,means,plan,promise,right,time,way,wish或不定代词something,nothing等后面作后置定语;若其逻辑主语是句子的主语,不定式用主动式。
e.g. The ability to express an idea is as important as the idea itself.
表达思想的能力和思想本身一样重要。
Women have no right to vote and to be voted in that country.
在那个国家,女性没有选举权和被选举权。
Mr Brown has something important to deal with at present.
目前布朗先生有重要的事情要处理。
III. 不定式作状语
1. 作目的状语。不定式(短语)作目的状语,主要用来修饰动词,表示某一动作或状态的目的。在句首时常译为“为了……”;在句尾时常译作“以便……,目的是……”,前面可以加in order或者 so as表示强调。
e.g. (In order)To help us prepare for the exam, the teacher suggested reading through our notes.(in order to do...既可以置于句首又可以置于句尾)
为了帮助我们准备考试,老师建议通读我们的笔记。
We work hard (so as) to be admitted to a key university.(so as to do...不能置于句首)
我们努力学习,目的是被重点大学录取。
注意:(1)不定式(短语)表示的是主语的目的,因此其逻辑主语通常是句子的主语;(2)不定式的否定式均是在to前加not。
e.g. 为了画好地图,你需要一支特殊的钢笔。
To draw maps properly, a special pen is needed. [误]
To draw maps properly, you need a special pen. [正]
We had better hurry up in order/so as not to be late for class.
为了上课不迟到,我们最好快点。
2. 作结果状语。不定式(短语)作结果状语常用于以下结构:
(1) so/such...as to do sth太……以至于做某事
e.g. Would you please be so kind as to help me? 您能好心帮帮我吗?
He is such a fool as to believe them. 他如此傻以至于相信他们。
(2)表示出乎意料的结果,常与only,never 等连用。
e.g. He went to school early only to find nobody was there.
他早早地去了学校,结果发现学校里没人。
注意:动词-ing形式作结果状语,表示顺其自然的结果。
e.g. Both of his parents died in the war, leaving him an orphan.
他的父母都在战争中死去了,结果他成了孤儿。
(3) too...to do sth太……以至于不能做某事
e.g. The box is too small to hold all these things.
这个箱子太小以至于装不下这些东西。
(4)...enough to do sth足够……做某事
e.g. The girl was lucky enough to get a train ticket.
这个女孩足够幸运抢到了一张火车票。
3. 作原因状语。常用于“主语(人)+系动词+形容词+to do”结构中。形容词作表语时,后可接不定式作原因状语,用以说明产生这种情绪的原因或所表示的情况,常用于这类结构中的形容词有:sorry,surprised,astonished,disappointed,excited,glad,happy,anxious,delighted,pleased,foolish等。
e.g. 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。
We were surprised to find that he had left.
4. 用于“主语(物)+系动词+形容词+to do”结构中(作程度状语?)。这类形容词有:easy,difficult,hard,cheap,expensive,fit,comfortable,heavy,good,important,impossible,dangerous等,表示主语的特征或性质,不定式和句子主语之间存在动宾关系,但常用主动形式表示被动意义。
e.g. The morning air is so good to breathe that he gets up early every day.
早上的空气呼吸起来很清新,因此他每天都起得很早。
This sofa is very comfortable to sit on.
这个沙发坐起来很舒适。
