| 释义 | urge If you urge someone to do something, you try hard to persuade them to do it. I urged him to take a year off to study drawing. Father Swiebel urged him to talk. Note that urge must be followed by an object when you use it with a 'to'-infinitive. You say, for example, 'He urged them to stay'. You do not say 'He urged to stay'. In writing, you can use a 'that'-clause after urge. In the 'that'-clause, you use 'should' or the base form of a verb. The Press Commission urged that the ownership of the press and broadcasting should be kept separate. Sir Fred urged that Britain join the European Monetary System. In writing, urge can also be used with an object referring to a course of action. US officials urged restraint. The report urged a more positive role for local government. |
