词组 | cause(make) |
释义 | cause : make — 201 用作“使得”或“弄成”讲,这两个动词是同义,并都可搭用以不定式短语作补语的复合宾语,只是前者所搭用的那个不定式动词不能省去 to 或 to be ;而后者则可以,除非是在用于被动语态的时候(注:在一些谚语里, to 也多半不省去)。 例如: Someone who makes you laugh is a comedian. Someonewho makes you thlnk and then laugb is a humorist. 逗你发笑的人是个小丑;使你深思而后发笑的人是个幽默家。 (不定式动词可以省去 to ) We have been made to progress. 我们已有所进步。(用于被动语态,不定式不省去 to ) Money makes the mare to go. 有钱能使鬼推磨。(在谚语里, to 往往不省去) We should make our shoes to last. 我们应该把鞋子做得坚固耐穿。(这里的 make 是作“制作”讲, to 也不省去) 比较: What caused him to go downhill? 是什么使得他走下坡路的?
